Secrets of Strangers (Pelican S.) - Softcover

Secrets of Strangers. A Case History, a Psychotherapist's Detective Story, and a Compulsive Family Tragedy

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Pelican Edition. Paperback Geoffrey Hutton is a delinquent. His unruly behaviour has ranged from stealing to indecent exposure, transvestism, violence and arson. Why did this 'stranger' arise in the midst of an apparently happy and normal family? This book - the result of a close collaboration between the acclaimed novelist, Alice Thomas Ellis, and Tom Pitt-Aikens, a consultant in adolescent and family psychiatry - recreates a series of family meetings set up to treat Geoffrey's case. The story that emerges is often blackly funny, chilling and absorbing. Surprising, unresolved traumas are gradually revealed, whose evil projections originate in conflicts, guilts and sorrow buried deep in the family's history - dark secrets that they have kept not only from outsiders but also, unconciously, from themselves.
