Michael Barnett was a modern-day wizard, one of those rare human beings who could change the consciousness of those around him simply by the force of his presence.
A charismatic former therapist who was both feared and revered, Barnett could be intensely confrontational and lovingly supportive. He was considered a legend in London’s emerging humanistic psychotherapeutic movement in the early 1970s and was one the founders of People not Psychiatry.
This book explores Michael’s adventurous life, relationships, and profound spiritual and therapeutic impact as shared with the author during two decades of intimate conversations, email exchanges, interviews and transcendental initiations.
