"Therafields is the remarkable story of a unique commune that flourished in the Toronto area in the 1970s. . . . The book is written by a former insider who admires Hindley-Smith's apparent intuitive genius but spares no criticism when describing the weakness of her movement. . . . It makes for good reading.” — Canada’s History

“Therafields: The Rise and Fall of Lea Hindley-Smith’s Psychoanalytic Commune is an important and honest history of a promise that couldn't be kept. It not only does justice to the true spirit of that promise, Grant Goodbrand also bravely honors its failings.” — Critics at Large

“Unlike many rise and fall books, this author does not gloat, does not remain aloof from tragedy and sorrow, but embraces it in an honest effort to understand what happened. It’s this candour and honesty that makes Therafields such a deeply affecting meditation on hope, vision, and mortality.” — Words to Go

“A readable and authoritative history. . . . The book should be of interest to any student of Toronto's cultural history, as well as any student of the 20th century's grand experiment with the talking cure, invented by Freud and subsequently modified by innumerable disciples, rivals, renegades and heretics." — National Post
