Frieda Voorhorst Maze of mourning
In Maze of Mourning, Frieda Voorhorst describes the process of grieving after the death of her father. Her style is reflexive: in a detached way, she looks at her own emotions, thoughts and actions in retrospect. In this way, the book is contemplative without being weighty: it focusses on the dayly events in this period. The strong ties in the Voorhorst family between Frieda, her mother, her two sisters and her two brothers provide for a safe and harmonious background. Although the book concerns...

Alfred Scheepers A survey of buddhist thought

It points out how these ideas were used by the psychologists of the Abhidharma, how they issued in the mystical conceptions of Mahayana.
