I read Why Am I Afraid To Tell You Who I Am? by John Powell SJ when I was about 17 yrs of age. It awakened an interest in psychology which has stayed with me since. I have just written and published Nine Seahorses: A Plea For Sanity In Three Parts which is the reflection of some 30 years as a psychologist but also as a flawed human being in the world since that time. If you are very familiar with Why Am I Afraid, you may see echoes of its style - what with the illustrations playing with the narrative and so on - in Nine Seahorses. Later copies of Why Am I Afraid, sadly, don't have the same quality of colour illustrations as the first editions I seem to think. Anyway - for me - Why Am I Afraid is a psychology and human condition classic. Nine Seahorses is intended as a conversation-starter and, who knows, some folks somewhere may benefit in miscellaneous ways from it. It certainly carries a message of hope. Best wishes to all who read this review!
