Book Description
Being ill isn t a cause for joy, I nevertheless have no right to complain about it, for it seems to me that nature sees to it that illness is a means of getting us back on our feet, of healing us, rather than an absolute evil. --Vincent van Gogh to John Peter Russell, Saint-Remy-de-Provence, February 1, 1890"

Book Description
"I don''t think I''m insane. I don''t want to be. Am I merely in denial of my insanity? As we know, denial is its own form of insanity. So, I''m insane for believing that I''m sane and not insane. Right? If you''re confirming my insanity and you''re insane too, can we be normal together? Because if you''re sane but I''m insane, I don''t want your company. And if you''re insane but I''m sane, feel free to drop by whenever I''m bored. You entertain me. Don''t stick around too long, though. You exhaust me." -from page 61 of Robyn Alana Engel''s InSanity From the author of International Award-Winning memoir, Woman on the Verge of Paradise, InSanity delivers another hearty dose of sweet love, painful heartache, and all the feels for which-as Engel admits-words don''t suffice. Robyn Engel explores the toughest of issues--suicide loss, psychosis, overwhelming guilt and ultimately, self forgiveness. Readers are also privy to many a weirdly hysterical dating scenario, workplace toxicity, and bizarre life events that most people have experienced--e.g., the unbalanced therapist who needs help, the obnoxious neighbor who has no life except to closely monitor your postal deliveries, the suitor who brings their beloved pet on every date, people who talk far too much about that which you never wanted to feign interest--not even in your sleep. Coauthor of the Award-Winning novel, Dead and Moaning in Las Vegas, Bryan Pedas states: "It''s a mad, mad world out there, and Robyn Engel does a brilliant job of breaking down all of the quirky, too ridiculous to make up insanities of everyday life with both kindness and laughter." This author''s described as a "wonderful author with a delightful colloquial style." Thus readers are hard pressed to put this book down once they''ve begun. "She writes like Stephen King," says author-reviewer Ken Lynch. "This one really sunk its teeth in me." "Engel''s wicked humor makes for a page turner filled with colorful observations of therapists (she is one herself), relationship conundrums as a single woman, clergy, religion, politics and troublesome neighbors. Although her comments are often tart, her essential vulnerability and courage shine through." -Silona Lynne Reyman, PhD, Author of Musings of a Ghost Mother. "It''s her best book yet," Reyman adds. InSanity takes the reader on a refreshingly intimate search for the line between "sanity" and "insanity." You''ll shadow a sassy seductress as she muses the difference between these concepts. Is there a difference? Is this a worthy venture? Why does society place these labels on members of the human family? Is love a cure all? (Hint: It''s not, but it helps.) "Engel poured her heart and soul into this book." The author''s bold perspective and furious heart, mixed with an intoxicating writing style, keep readers from putting the book aside. She''s sharp tongued and petty at times, and she owns this. Robyn''s level of self awareness has been likened to the ghost of George Carlin dancing naked, alone and in front of huge mirrors. Join Robyn in confronting the everyday madness we all face. Ultimately, with her you''ll ultimately encounter a glorious trifecta: human grit, benevolence, and one man who isn''t weird. Well, he doesn''t seem weird. Not yet anyway. She can''t find red or pink flags. Might JT change her narrative? He''s nice, and perhaps kindness matters most of all. In fact, maybe kindness is all that matters. At any rate, Robyn takes care of her readers and provides plenty of reason for hope, self forgiveness, and optimism. "Crazy," after-all, can be a really good state of mind. "If you are after sunshine and roses, this book is NOT for you. If you can cope with suicide, pain, grief, frustration and anger with a generous helping of laughter and hope, come along for a dramatic, no holds barred ride..." --Sue Goldberg, Blogger, Elephant''s Child

Book Description
Wilfred Bion described "O" as "the unknowable and the unreachable ultimate truth". In this fascinating collection, a range of authors offer their own theoretical, clinical and artistic approaches to exploring this enduring but mysterious idea. Drawn from contributions from the 8th International Bion Conference in 2014, the book examines how "O" can be experienced in all aspects of internal and external reality and within all relationships, from an individual relating to the mother to their emotional relationship with their self. It features insights into "O" drawn from the area of faith as well as its manifestations in clinical practice, while also included is a chapter exploring the links between Bion’s ideas and those of Winnicott, Lacan, Green and Freud. Featuring contributions from some of the world’s leading Bion scholars, this will be essential reading for any psychoanalyst interested in exploring the concept of "O", as well as scholars in philosophy and theology.
