Bina has published several dozen original essays on psychological aspects of our lives -- ways to think about daily relationships, our own relationship to ourself, childhood, and living with (or as) an artist.  The essays fall into three categories:  Childhood, Relationships, and Intra-Psychic (the relationships and "talk" within your own mind).
