At last: you are not patient 2794 or Syndrome XY: you are a whole human being with a personal history, a family, community and a changing body. Lorraine Rose’s enthralling book is unlike anything I have seen before and twice as satisfying. This is your mind and mine from first burp to senior reflections – a story all of us want to understand as we grow. Now we can.

From Cradle to Global Citizen follows three-part trajectory
In Part 1, Lorraine Rose arguably provides one of the most comprehensive, clear and succinct summaries of human development in the literature. This section is given particular clarity by the premise that the human being is a social being even from conception. The self-evidence of this platform allows Rose to define human development, from conception to adulthood (and citizenship), with a particular cohesion and sense that a more intra-psychic focus cannot.
This depiction segues into Part 2 in which Rose draws upon her own extensive clinical experience and demonstrates how the failure to attend to the fundamental social needs of the human being derails, not just the life and health of a person, but that person’s capacity to engage with others socially and in constructive and mutual citizenship. Rose’s sensitive treatment and analysis of some of the people and circumstances she has worked with is entirely engaging, but I found myself, on first reading at least, feeling a little overwhelmed by its detail and intensity and wondering where she was taking her argument.
Part 3 nicely clarifies this direction. Here Rose cogently examines recent global socio-political and economic developments which tear at the very fabric of what we need as social beings to exist, even survive in our world. Drawing on Part 1, she gives draws the parallel about that socio-political activity which undermines social cohesion and a healthy planet and that which does not. It goes without saying on which our global survival depends. It becomes clear that the seemingly personal travails she explores in Part 2 are indeed social travails that affect us all. She makes it evident that as social beings, particularly in the current world context, we are inescapably global citizens, a fact we need to heed if we are to survive together in this world.
The strength of Rose’s argument arises from evidence, from a lifelong vocation devoted to observing, understanding and working with human beings. Her work is testimony to the breadth and depth of her thinking and analysis of the human being and earthly human condition. Her book is timely and urgent if indeed we are to take seriously our responsibility as global citizens. It is engrossing and enlightening reading, but also compulsory – a call to all of us to think seriously about our collective selves in this world, especially those who have the serious business of raising our next generations into this world as global citizens.

As a former publisher for both Oxford and Cambridge University Presses in Australia and now a counselor and psychotherapist in private practice and community counseling in Sydney, I can’t recommend this book highly enough. It will be essential reading for practitioners in the helping disciplines; it is a have-to-have book rather than a discretionary purchase.

Here is a highly erudite, reflective and experienced psychotherapist working outside – as well as within – her own disciplinary boundaries. This demonstrates how fruitful it can be to cross those boundaries as we develop a holistic sense of how each of us evolves over our entire lifetime. In accessible language, this manuscript opens up the possibilities we can all access to overcome our developmental shortfalls, to mature, and to realise our human potential. No other book I have read presents this material in such a digestible way.

I found the approach taken by Lorraine of the critical first years of life as integrated challenges for baby, mother and father quite comprehensive. It is not just the baby’s development; each participant is experiencing similar challenges. This gives a sound foundation for our understanding of human capacity for social living.

Lorraine’s book explores the intimate relationship between mother and child, expanding into the enormous potential of family and the ties between individuals and society. Moving beyond family, the text broadens across today’s corporate and business culture, and questions the limits of contemporary leadership, communications and economies. Lorraine skillfully joins the links from an infant’s first years and the direction and role of a modern democracy. A lifetime journey we all share.
