Author of ten books and a published poet, Daphne Rose Kingma originally began to practice psychotherapy to provide her with more time to write. Far from being a second profession, doing psychotherapy soon took over and she developed a thriving private practice. Some of her celebrity clients have pronounced her "The Einstein of Emotions," and "The Isadora Duncan of Psychotherapy." Her practice has flourished in Santa Barbara and Beverly Hills, California since l971.  Ms. Kingma’s books have sold over 1 million copies and been translated into numerous languages.
