Kabbalah and Psychoanalysis (2012), by Michael Eigen  (BF173/.E34/2012)

From the Preface and Introduction: “I am not a Kabbalah scholar, but aspects of its teachings have become part of me, as has psychoanalytic work. The two have many points of convergence.”

The Center Cannot Hold: My Journey Through Madness (2007), by Elyn R. Saks (RC464/.S25/A3/2007)

From the book jacket: “It is the most lucid and hopeful memoir of living with schizophrenia I have ever read.” (Oliver Sacks)

To see who might have the item you want, check out:

Worldcat

which lets you search for a title, then enter your zip code to find libraries close to you. Please note that libraries have their own policies, so I’ll double-check to make sure you can visit. Also, you won’t be able to take materials out - for that, please talk to me about doing an interlibrary loan.
