Description
Desires of the Heart by Wiiliam F Kenny
An insightful memoir with careful reflection on the theory and practice of psychiatry, case studies and selected articles published over a diverse career.
“In the silence of therapy…a glance carries great weight.”
“…childhood’s time is rekindled in the ashes of lost opportunities. As each

“Listening is like standing quietly in a hurricane. Everything is moving and
there is no ground to shape individual identity. Accusations fly in the wind,
uprooting defences and causing even greater awareness. My first task is to
create a safe haven for the human voice. I do this by insisting that they
accept me as a listener and not as a judge…”
