Metal Dog – Long Road Home: An autobiographical novel – or ‘revised personal mythology’ – by Dr Jim Byrne

This book is the nearest thing you will ever find to an autobiography of the first forty years of the life of Jim Byrne, the creator of Emotive-Cognitive Embodied Narrative Therapy (E-CENT).  However this is not how Jim describes it.  Instead, he writes: “This text is my ‘revised personal mythology’. That is not to say that it is untrue.  The core of the story is true to my recollection of my felt experience.  But it is embellished with elements of another person’s life; plus hundreds of years of Irish history/mythology; and several strands of mysterious ‘fictional’ story, about the timeless struggle of good against evil; of love against hate and ignorance; and of the heroic journey of an innocent goat and a curious boy, from passive victimisation towards the possibility of personal liberation, with the help of a mysterious ‘tall woman’. It is a story of hope and despair; of courage and cowardice; the quest for love and belonging; and of the alchemical power of curiosity and perseverance”.

A new book by Dr Jim Byrne – February 2017: (But please note that the first half of this book was originally published as Volume 1 of Obedience and Revolt – the story of Daniel O’Beeve’s life. But we are now revealing that Daniel O’Beeve was a pseudonym used by Jim Byrne, and that the life of Daniel O’Beeve is [very largely] the life of Jim Byrne, plus one other person, plus visions, dreams and imagination. It is of course a fictionalised story, so none of the characters in this book should be taken to be be any particular real person, living or dead)
