Torn Asunder

"David Rosen in this memoir is in turns vulnerable, courageous, sad, joyful, too human, funny, and extraordinarily generous and wise. Woven together into a truly wondrous adventure, it shows his great heart and spirit."

--Mark Unno, Professor of Religious Studies, University of Oregon, and Shin Buddhist Priest



"A psychiatrist, Jungian analyst, researcher, artist, stand-up comedian--Dr. Nada--and a writer with a wide range, David Rosen is, beyond what he has done, a man who has truly transformed his depression through a creative life. Torn Asunder is the latest example of a man whose life and work are an inspiration."

--Robert D. Romanyshyn, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, Pacifica Graduate Institute



"Torn Asunder, putting back the pieces, a lifelong journey, is for moving toward wholeness, responding to the spirit's depth--poetic, philosophical, wholehearted, and felt--and the experience of the Tao."

--Shen Heyong, Professor, South China Normal University and Fudan University



"David Rosen's memoir is both strikingly direct and intimate, an epic tale that spans a lifetime of archetypal experiences, profound insights, and rich psychological contributions in service to soul. Though I first met David when I interviewed him for Depth Insights™, in part about his work with attempted suicide survivors who jumped from the Golden Gate bridge, I have also immensely enjoyed his vast array of offerings about creativity, haiku, alchemy, and so much more over the years. David's reflections offer insight, hope, and healing for the journey of being human!"

--Bonnie Bright, Founder, Depth Insights, Depth Psychology Alliance, and the Institute for Soul-Centered Psychology and Coaching
