Love & Rage is a book about children, both the child in those of us who are chronologically adult, as well as the children we may be interacting with. It takes a reader for a journey into their inner world of intense, raging emotions which often goes unheeded by the outside adult world. With the trained ear of a child psychotherapist, the author listens to children's stories as they emerge in her consulting room, through word and play, and translates them for adults. Supported by the author's own personal associations and a bedrock of psychodynamic theory, the book throws light on what comes into a psychotherapist's consulting room, and demonstrates that it is not unusual, bizarre or crazy. Instead, it is the ordinary stuff of everyday life, taking place in every family. That sometimes we all carry the pain of complex feelings within ourselves for all of our lives-love and rage towards the people we are closest to. This book is essential reading for anyone close to children-parents and parents-to-be, teachers, school counsellors-but also for anyone looking to attend to the child within them.

ヌプール・D・パイヴァの『Love & Rage』は、大人の内側に眠る「子供」の叫びに光を当てる魂の記録です。心理療法の知見を駆使し、愛と怒りが渦巻く内界を、学術を超えた詩的な筆致で描写。大人が見落としがちな子供たちの激しい情動を言葉へ翻訳するその手腕は、読者の忘却していた幼き日の記憶を鮮烈に揺さぶります。 本書は、激しい葛藤を異常ではなく「日常の真実」として肯定します。最愛の人へ抱く憎しみという孤独に寄り添い、それが愛の一部であることを解き明かすプロセスは、読む者の心を深く浄化するでしょう。自分を愛したいと願うすべての人へ贈る、自己受容と再生への情熱に満ちた至高の精神文学です。
