HOMECOMING: RECLAIMING YOUR INNER CHILD

This is a hefty dose of Bradshaw on recovering from dysfunction. To be expected in such a long program, some of his favorite jokes and many of his favorite authors and theories come up repeatedly. Since the presentation is taped from live lectures, audience noises are clearly audible. The listener hears other groups doing an exercise at the same time, laughing, applause and sometimes sobbing. A word of caution, the work on "original pain" on tape two is an extremely intense recollection of abuse. Processing this with someone is recommended. With his unplaceable accent, Bradshaw delights audiences on a topic anyone can ponder. A.G.H. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: MAR/APR 98]
