It contains 27 stories of people who, in different circumstances, might not have sought psychotherapy. When the larger society had given up hope of change and redemption, the therapeutic intervention transformed their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book shows that the possibility of change exists every time and everywhere. The sessions with the author helped create a healing space in the midst of chaos and disorder. The therapy provided was mostly supportive and eclectic in nature, involving unconditional regard for the individual, bringing in a transformation that was otherwise unimaginable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book also demonstrates how lived experiences of grief and loss are universal and part of the larger human condition – one that, if responded to with sensitivity and compassion, can bring hope. It will be useful to students of psychology, sociology, political science, and law; researchers; those working in police, prisons, and the judiciary; and policy-makers. The volume shows how psychologists and psychotherapists can be agents of change in real life, by extending the scope of psychotherapy beyond the clinical settings seen as standard since the last century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRajat Mitra\u003c\/strong\u003e, a psychologist, has worked with survivors of crime and of human rights violations, prisoners, and the mentally ill.
