" "Lani Gerity shows in this book that puppet making, incorporating both art and narrative, provides an ideal vehicle for therapeutic work with survivors of childhood trauma. Using puppets and creating narratives about them encourages patients to build communities and to release themselves from the hold of the trauma of their pasts. Descriptions and analyses of Gerity's work with dissociative patients in the US and Canada is underpinned by a theoretical framework which encompasses theories from the arts therapies and from psychiatry"-- Contracoberta
