Class Reunion - Invitation to the untidy Past

Julia Onken

A psychological report

"Dear Girls and Boys!" This flattering form of address announces a class reunion. Julia Onken doesn't think twice: she's there. And she has no idea what awaits her: a lesson about the survival of the untidy past, about life plans and their success or failure. "Class Reunion" is a book by the great psychologist about formative experiences, our ideas about the world and ourselves, and what they make of and with us.

A class reunion is a lesson. Not only about how differently we age: For some, you think they sent their parents, for others, they sent their children. Like in a film, we are also shown which life models were initially available to us and how we started out in the world, whether they were able to give us a good sense of our selves or whether we had to overcome patterns that hindered us. Perhaps when we look back on our school years we understand why certain events have left deep traces in us continuing to shape us into our mature years. In any case, Julia Onken's conclusion of the day, which was as entertaining as it was memorable, is: "and should another invitation come soon - I'm in."
