In Sight: A Psychiatrist's Memoir Exploring the Jungle of the Unconscious (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218911010)

From a young age, Dolores Furtch always lived on the move. She ran from a chaotic childhood to a military base in the jungle in Colombia. The dangers of the jungle were not intimidating, in fact, they felt like her comfort zone. The next stop would be the Bronx and somewhere in between, Dolores found her path as a psychiatrist.

Dolores' family came from a long line of struggle and violence. Her grandfather survived the Holocaust, and her parents endured the turbulence of La Violencia, Colombia's era of brutal unrest. Dolores' upbringing was marked by grief, mental illness, trauma, and early responsibilities. As a result, she learned early on how to care for herself and protect those around her, a driving force behind her decisions for the rest of her life.

After an injury, Dolores is forced to a halt. Unable to run she has no choice but to confront her emotional wounds and a dreadful fear of mortality. In Sight: A Psychiatrist's Memoir Exploring the Jungle of the Unconscious is a psychological autopsy and a revelation about how we unconsciously carry our past and how it manifests in our daily life. Exploring this hidden well is the only road to healing and acceptance.
