"Using profiles, anecdotes and poetry, Anne Wallace shows how we survive—and transcend—the wounds of childhood. Setting Psychological Boundaries is a wonderful book, sure to be useful to many people."

"Wallace weaves sound psychological insights from researchers and theorists of personality and human development. She shows how pervasive and destructive factors in our society, such as alcoholism and abuse, confound the development of boundaries and foster and perpetuate violence and pathology. This is a significant and important handbook which deserves careful reading."

"Learning about boundaries, especially from a woman's point of view, has been an essential element in allowing me to cope with the complexities of my family's relationships. I regret that I wasn't aware of all this when my family began 30 years ago!"

"Anne Wallace is an extraordinary writer. Every page comes alive with her sensitivity and compassion as she weaves together the diverse threads of psychology, narrative and poetry with skill and dexterity. This is a masterful work—a must for every woman."
