Figure Number One

The reading was excellant (never came across it before) and as to the content, the substance is like digging up old valuables which should be already among us peers. The detail is just where it's wanted and explains itself through one colour, no confusion style. The theme is very real, as it is, and my human touch was with the Psychiatrists who conduct interviews and profile cases. It was a very meticulous project. The book provided an insight to the workings of the medical profession that basically deals with human relations. It can possibly help my understanding of where I went wrong. It details a general and broad concern over child rearing and society and from my experience possibly something in my teenage years overlooked. Life is not an easy thing for people to provide the wealth of happiness and as a referance to a myth of all having a bit of difficulty in communication, be that listening or communication. I am not a doctor of any discription but I do have everybody's interests. My mother is next in line for she is also concerned and she did attend a relevant course. Saying that, this book may not just be for the professionals. An invaluable read to me. I'll be looking for something similar along the lines of my "self mis-representation" and what I did not understand. Thanks.
