The topic is profound, yet it is condensed and expressed in simple language using examples and metaphors from everydaylife and the living world around us.James Low's books have been and are being translated into Estonian, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese and Spanish.James Low has now retired  from his post as a Consultant Psychotherapist in the National Health Service.
