• Slater, Lauren Welcome to My Country Hardcover | Paperback | Audio cassette This book is a psychologist's compassionate memoir featuring the stories of her patients' lives and her efforts to connect with them as fellow beings. She writes: "My patient and I sit down, look at each other. I see myself in her. I trust she sees herself in me. This is where we begin." The book revolves around Slater's early experiences as a therapist at Bates House - a residence for individuals with chronic schizophrenia in East Boston. However, not all of her patients who resided there had schizophrenia. The author also describes her interactions with and novel treatment resolutions for a sociopathic young man, a severely depressed mother and - toughest of all for Slater personally - a woman with borderline personality disorder. Slater herself had been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder in her early youth and had been institutionalized for several years. She attributes the impetus for her transformation from patient to therapist to the special influence of foster parents who stuck by her in her late teens. Throughout this book Slater expresses a strong drive to reach her patients, because: "Wounds, I think, are never confined to a single skin but reach out to rasp us all." She writes in lush style which waxes poetic. Reading Slater's memoir is a rewarding experience, not only for the author's creative flair, but chiefly for her stance of committed compassion, the hope her own story offers and the threads of connectedness she has spun into the lives of her patients.
