On the dusty, bumpy road of life, who is there when you need someone? When you're alone ... when you're sick ... when you want to create or when you want to celebrate, who is there to share your ups and downs?

"Being Here When I Need Me provides a natural way to open to your higher Self. It is down-to-earth, comprehensive, clarifying, and powerful. Vivian King's approach to Psychosynthesis is both inspirational and scholarly. I highly recommend this book to those committed to personal and spiritual growth and to all humanity."

"I began underlining with a marker until I realized I was marking the whole page."

"A simple, practical, pragmatic way to open to the Higher Self."

"Your writing helps me regain my faith in myself, in life and in God's presence."

"A blend between prose and a literary novel. It doesn't have an arid feeling like most structured material has."

"This book is not for wimps."

Vivian King, like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, grew up on a farm in Kansas. Along the yellow brick road, she was trained as a psychiatric nurse and a psychotherapist, specializing in Psychosynthesis, a transpersonal psychology. Her experience as director of Psychosynthesis education and counselling programmes for over twelve years inspired her to write Being Here When I Need Me.
She travelled throughout the USA, the Baltics and Russia, where she conducted workshops on Psychosynthesis using the metaphor of the 'Inner Theatre', before a tragic car crash ended her physical life in 2000.
