The Skeleton Cupboard: Stories From a Clinical Psychologist by Tanya Byron

EVERY LIFE HAS A STORY

Inspired by Professor Tanya Byron's years of training as a new and naive clinical psychologist, The Skeleton Cupboard offers extraordinary stories of ordinary people struggling to cope with the challenges of life.

Through them we attempt to understand the line between sanity and insanity - and come to realise that it does not exist. The most fragile, vulnerable people can still offer strength and wisdom. Those hardened by cruel circumstance can show real kindness and compassion towards those who treat them. And those of us who outwardly appear untroubled can mask an inner life of turmoil.

With startlingly poignancy and powerful, affecting storytelling, this book is a testimony to anyone who has arrived to make the journey from chaos to clarity.
