House as a mirror of self by Clare Cooper Marcus contains 287 pages Nicolas-Hays 1997.

“Marcus’s study of people’s emotional ties to their houses, apartments, cottages, trailers and other dwellings offers useful often startling perspectives on what makes a house a home.” – Publishers Weekly

“Gets to the heart of how we consciously and often unconsciously design our homes to mirror who we are.” – Chicago Tribune

House as a mirror of self presents a unique examination of the relationship between ourselves and where we live, interwoven with compelling personal stories of searching for a place for the soul.

It is not about architecture, or decorating styles, or real estate, but more about bonds of feelings we experience with dwellings past and present.

At the base of this book is a very simple, but often overlooked premise – as we change and grow throughout our lives, our psychological development is punctuated by close ties with physical environments.

Marcus explores how self-image is expressed in our homes as well as things like “control”, “territory”, “privacy”.
