Metamorphosis of Trauma uncovers the nature of primary trauma and its purpose from a descriptive and explanatory framework. Featuring insight gained from the author as the wife of a Native American healer, the book establishes foundational tenets from the Lakota culture and features alternative perspectives that contribute to the explanation of primary trauma, as well as approaches to combat it's deleterious impact. The book takes readers on a guided exploration of their personal perceptions of primary trauma-its initial appearance, the conditions for it, its original character and related characteristics, and the functions for its existence. Readers learn how to change negative perceptions of primary trauma and reduce the impact of primary trauma before it transforms into a chronic, complex issue. Over the course of eight chapters, readers discover common responses to primary trauma, its benefits from a Native American system view of trauma, the importance and process of change, steps to establishing a trauma-resistant culture, and more. Metamorphosis of Trauma is part of the Cognella Series on Advances in Culture, Race, and Ethnicity. The series, endorsed by Division 45 of the American Psychological Association, addresses critical and emerging issues within culture, race, and ethnic studies, as well as specific topics among key ethnocultural groups.

Widespread popular belief holds that woke culture, increasingly known as "wokeism," is the great progressive awakening of our time. Its followers and proponents believe that their awakening is one of seeing a better world without discrimination, unfairness, or injustice. Those who refuse to subscribe to woke culture are seen as hateful people who must advocate the opposite of what woke culture claims to stand for. Increasingly anyone who questions the woke message is shouted down, de-platformed, and even cancelled. But is there something less attractive about woke thinking beneath the labels? Few examinations of woke culture have yet appeared, and Chris Heitzman's new book is timely. This book examines what woke culture is, and analyses whether it aligns with its own superficially attractive ideals or whether it is a sinister attempt at mind control that is doomed to fail. The Coming Woke Catastrophe explains why Heitzman is not woke, and why you should not be, either.

Este libro trata sobre las observaciones del Dr. Guillermo Gonz lez en relaci n al desarrollo de la personalidad colonizada en Puerto Rico. Este tipo de personalidad ha sido descrito anteriormente por otros psiquiatras y psic logos ampliamente en la literatura mundial, pero nunca en Puerto Rico. Este tipo de personalidad se desarrolla en el individuo a consecuencia de vivir prolongadamente en las distintas colonias que se reconocen internacionalmente.

Author Darren LaBrecque presents Pilgrimage toward Recovery offers the reader a very original from a fellow sufferer of mental illness. All knowledge in this book is firsthand, as LaBrecque dealt with the very things on which he writes. He believes that Pilgrimage toward Recovery can point you in the right direction toward your own recovery. His book is unique in the sense that as he was writing it, he was on his own pilgrimage toward recovery. The idea for this book came to LaBrecque in prayer when the Lord answered him, saying he was going to write a book. LaBrecque's first reply was that he didn't know how, and He replied, "But I do, and I will guide you through it every step of the way. You will not be disappointed; it will be a tremendous help to you."

This book takes a look at how certain thinking processes create "psychiatric" symptoms, and how different choices can eliminate those experiences.
