I first met Lynn at her apartment in New York in 1981. She always wanted to come to Ireland, which was the reason for the meeting not that Lynn would ever ask directly. It is just that connections were made and things happened. I had also wanted to meet her as I had just finished her book, Foundations of Family Therapy (1981). She came later that year and changed our lives forever. An hilarious account of that first visit to Ireland is recounted by her in her last book, Family Therapy: an intimate history (2000).
