Viktoriya Egorova
I love you… I’m ready to say these words to everybody I have shared ideas and feelings, lecture notes and buns with; to everybody I gave to and borrowed from without obligation… “So what?” – you might ask... So nothing, but my ever-present willingness to embrace, to kiss, to stroke and to stay holding hands, with a man or a woman, an adult or a child. There are so many social conventions that stop us from acting on these desires, and even stop us from talking or thinking about them…. We classify our feelings into love and affection, friendship and affinity, attraction and sexuality. We disjoint a miraculous single whole into different parts. And as a result we experience only fragments of the indivisible process of life.
By the age of thirty seven I was an accomplished neurotic. I went through several marriages and family rows. I gave birth to my son, but I also gave him his first visit to a psychiatrist. That made me stop, and think about what I was doing. I changed my lifestyle and let my son alone. He turned out to be a strong and capable boy, who is studying physics and math at the university now. And as for me, while rethinking my life I recalled that I used to compose verse when I was fourteen.
“I’m a philosopher and a poet” – I said to myself.
Now I’m a professionally qualified psychologist, I have some published work in this field, including a book. I worked my way up from the position of hospital attendant to the position of psychologist at the children's psychiatric hospital. I still earn my living fixing burgers and doing the washing up in the fast food; but I have made my way in life and I have become a real professional.

NON-children's tale
6 a.l.
This book is a mythical magnifying-glass, allowing the reader to see the essence of existence within the everyday. It is a guide, that will accompany the reader through a maze of questions; it is a mirror, that will allow the reader to see themselves as they really are – it is a book about the patients of a children’s psychiatric hospital. Children can read it as a fairy tale, adults will find it a serious story of the routines of an eight-ward children’s clinic. This book will be useful to anyone who cares for, teaches, or brings up children – or anyone seeking to understand how life can be lived to the full.

What does a metropolitan publisher have in common with a provincial physician? And a mathematician with a writer of daytime soap operas? What do a successful psychiatrist, a watchman in a marina, a beauty- school student and a carpenter have in common? There is only one answer: a crime. Childish piques, family intrigues, the lust for fame and a rush for profits drive respectable people to deception, forgery and murder; and middle-age passions boil under routine lives both in a provincial town and in the capital.
This book will interest lovers of daytime talk shows and fans of TV’s “Doctor Kurpatov”.
