Synopsis
This book foregrounds the life struggles of an individual, Brenda, in such a way that argument and theoretical exploration arise organically out of experience. The "frustration" of the title is traced to avoidant attachment - pretending not to need others. In Brenda this is associated with a body-energy pattern that is both over-charged and over-contained, generating a self-frustrating process. Such a repressive defence works against her, so that she experiences her life as dry, soulless, and uncreative. A variety of existential difficulties are traced to how such core developmental issues interact with our socio-cultural environment. A way forward is outlined: play and finding meaning are identified as transformational hubs that bring wellbeing into Brenda's life and restore her capacity for experiencing.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. A perfectly sound clean working copy of this quite scarce book. The card covers are bright, if a little creased in places. The pages look very clean and there are no owner name inscriptions. That said maybe up to half the pages have underlined sections in light blue and occasionally red pen so this has clearly been read by a student who wished to remember certain passages in the book. Still a vg copy. Seller Inventory # 012454
