Merciful Love Can Help Relieve the Emotional Suffering of Extreme States

Posted on by

Hi All,

Here’s my article for the Journal of Humanistic Psychology Special Edition on Extreme States. In it, I draw on my personal experience of extreme states over 50 years ago, and also of attempting, as a caregiver, to compassionately be present with people in extreme states for almost 40 years.

Best wishes,

Michael

  1. This is an amazing article. I’m currently composing a short letter to a psychiatrist that treated me poorly while I was ill, and I hope it is ok for me to include a printed out copy of your article with the letter. I am doing so in the hope that this psychiatrist may learn to treat future patients better than I was treated. Thank you so much for your wonderful writing.
