Encountering the Self: Transformation & Destiny in the Ninth Year

USD $14.95

It is between the ages of nine and ten that children begin to experience themselves as “I” for the first time—as separate individuals, different from their parents and peers and essentially alone. This inner experience is sometimes precipitated by the child’s first encounter with death and the first notion that earthly life is fragile and temporary.

Author: Hermann Koepke, preface by Virginia Sease, PhD, contributions by Walter Holtzapfel
