Keith is at the controls, and I speak it as both surgeon and patient. ABOUT THIS SNAPSHOT:Liberation's light reveals that adoption is often a thorn-wrapped gift accompanied by a blood-penned card demanding gratitude. The malignancy of primal narcissistic trauma, the mask of the false self, and the integration of true identity between genetics and nurture are examined.
