'The Voices of Silence' describes the functioning of a therapeutic community that houses people who suffer. With solid theoretical basis (Multifamily Psychoanalysis), María Elisa Mitre appeals to diverse/different narrative resources to show her clinical practice, transmitting the experience with unique authenticity. Some of the shapes that this invaluable material takes are: transcriptions of therapeutic groups, diaries of patients who reached healing, situations of daily life at the therapeutic community and clinical vignettes.

Due to its accessible language and agile reading, this book is addressed to those ready to question the boundaries between insanity and mental health through their affective experience. Not only psychoanalysts and other experts, but also anybody who once felt the need of being rescued by the genuine look of someone capable of seeing beyond the shell. The aim is to discover the person hidden behind a character that protects the essence of the true self.
