"My Dear Ones" Book discussion on Chapters 17-32
Sunday, March 23, 2025 (Approximately 75 minutes)
1pm Pacific / 2pm Mountain / 3pm Central / 4pm Eastern)
This is a continuation of the book discussion led by Judi Bakke in February. But if you didn't get to attend that, you are still welcome to join this session on the second half of the book.
Written by Neil and Margaret Rau, this biography traces Dr. Low's life from its humble European beginnings to his death in America as a venerated healer to thousands. The turbulent period when his Method was under attack from within the profession is vividly recreated here, as are his triumphs and moments of personal joy and fulfillment. It is also a love story, revealing the strong bond of compassion between this devoted psychiatrist and his patients.
Don't own the book yet? Order a copy from Jessica in the Oak Brook office at 312-337-5661 for the special sale price of $15 (plus $5 shipping per address) while supplies last.
The session is free for current RI Members. A $5 fee for non-members is required. Please register.
