Shows that if we can learn to understand that every adult step we take away from childhood consciousness-leave-taking, marriage, career, birth and death-is followed by a normal and natural period of mourning and discomfort, we have taken the first step toward adult fulfillment and control of our own lives. Each step we take and understand helps us shed the assumptions, rules, fantasies and irrationalities, established in childhood, that can hold us back from a creative adult life.
