Very Helpful
This book, consisting of 15 chapters and roughly 145 pages, is easy to read and well written, but difficult to get through. It was not difficult in a sense of reading it, but it was difficult in an emotional sense. This book has given me great insights and shocks to which it gave me a harsh glimpse into my past. It gave me a lot to absorb. The strategies, the tables, the stories, and the ...

Little Dorit, Part 2 of 2

Charles Dickens

Blackstone Audiobooks, 1999

Worth a Journey
Among the reasons to come to earth must surely be the chance to read this novel. Shaw called this novel a masterpiece among masterpieces. My opinion is that this novel is the greatest of the sixteen. It is less bland than Bleak House, more poignant than Copperfield. I started it desultorily, distracted greatly by events in my life. But gradually as I read it dawned on me that sentence by sentence ...

Dickens! Dickens!
Charles Dickens is my favorite author and this is another excellent story! I have all his books, and they are all well-written, entertaining and intellectual. I love how people are his subject and he is a master of words. Every person ought to read Dickens if only for the understanding of grammar you will receive.

The Truth About Mental Illness: Choices for Healing

Charles Whitfield

HCI, 2004

Eye-opening Expose'
I was unable to put this book down; finished it in five sittings. This should be mandatory reading for all teachers, therapists and medical professionals, and students in these fields. While the media, the industry and classroom messages insist we are suffering from biochemically-induced mental illness, Dr. Whitfield has pulled together overwhelming research indicating that it was our childhood ...

Our Mutual Friend (Part 1)

Blackstone Audiobooks, 1999

Down by the river, up from the river
The last completed novel by Dickens is also one of the darkest and, in my opinion, one of the best. The plot, as usual, is too dense and complex to be treatd here in detail. The story centers around one John Harmon, back from abroad to claim the inheritance from his deceased, horrible, and miser of a father. For reasons that are never explained (one of the several loose ends of the book), Old ...

My Recovery: A Personal Plan for Healing

HCI, 2003

A big help for me
This gave me a clear overview of the steps to my healing and was more complete and authoratative than most books on healing. Understandable to the layperson, and I believe it is must reading for clinicians.

Bleak House (Part 1)

Charles Dickens

Blackstone Audiobooks, 1999

A Masterpiece or Simply Too Long and Wanders Too Much?
The Introduction by Bradbury in the Penguin version, which I would suggest not looking at until you read the novel, agrees with my point: the novel lacks focus and wanders with too many sub-plots. Bradbury calls it "competing plots." So, that point of view is not my imagination nor a unique perspective on Bleak House. This is a very slow moving 1000 page novel which is unlike any of Dickens's ...

Alcoholism and Spirituality: Stress Management and Serenity During Recovery

Charles L. Whitfield

Thomas W. Perrin, 1985

An outstanding integration of spiritual values for recovery.
I first read this book in a typewritten, soft-bound compilation, and I still have the copy on my "frequently accessed" bookshelf. Although I have never met Dr. Whitfield, I feel as if I know him from this book, and as a result, I have held him in the highest esteem. I believe he is one of the first writers in the recovery field to bring a cogent, systematic transpersonal psychological ...

New unabridged edition forthcoming
I would like to point out that in 2008 Broadview Press will publish my unabridged edition of The Water-Babies with the original illustrations by Linley Sambourne. There will be a substantial introduction to the work as well as works by Lewis Carroll, Kingsley himself, and other contemporary writers that help place Kingsley's work in context. ...

Humility - ddaadendizwin
I can't express how wonderful a read this book was. I felt like it brought me back to the real me. I wished I'd found it earlier. I'd be a better person, and am because of it. I wish I had enough money to buy a copy for each of my family members and friends. It's that good. I read it, and re-read it immediately a second time. I love this book, and have started reading it to my 9 mos ...

Practical Psychology in One Lesson: "What Did You Say..."
If I had the power to transport one book back in time and send it to myself, this would be the one. This is the book I needed when I became a people manager. It's also the book I needed when I began to raise my kids. In fact, I can't think of a time in my life when I did not wish I had more of the skills this book teaches. A simple but very deep book that causes a new level of understanding about ...

Boundaries and Relationships: Knowing, Protecting and Enjoying the Self

HCI, 1994

As it is said, `An oldie, but a goodie'. Never out of date.
A work of art and understanding for any millennia. Not being a formal scholar... nevertheless, schooled from the street of hard knocks to the sophistication of group studies and classes with BA's, MA's, PhD's and a few 'Doc's' and in venues from business to religion, I had never heard of 'Boundaries'... of any kind by the time this book reached me. I picked this book of the shelf of a personal ...

shake up your your personal paradign
By the tiume you get to page 109 you will be depressed. The author so clearly explains how the wounding process takes place and what it's effects are. Although you should get angry and avoid most people from your family for a while. Eventually it is tremendously liberating and is a guide leading us off the path that other people have dictated to us. Shows us how to find our True self. That ...

Misinformation Concerning Child Sexual Abuse and Adult Survivors

2 reviews

Routledge, 2002

misinformation leads to continued victimization
Oftentimes, lay people as well as professionals respond to perceptions of child sexual abuse that have no basis in fact. The impact of sexual abuse does not always follow a straight and logical path. However, research in the field of child sexual abuse clearly indicates that it has long-term negative consequences for which its victims and their families are not prepared. Narrowly focused ...

Memory and Abuse: Remembering and Healing the Effects of Trauma
Charles Whitfield

HCI, 1995

Remembering what happened in any traumatic experience is basic and crucial to healing. For over 100 years the memory of abuse survivors has been questioned and challenged by all sorts of people, ranging from perpetrators to family members. More recently, this memory has been challenged by a combination of accused family members, their lawyers and a few academics who claim the existence of a "false memory syndrome." In this groundbreaking book ...

A Gift to Myself: A Personal Workbook and Guide to "Healing the Child Within"

10 reviews
Charles L. Whitfield

HCI, 1990

Must Have With Companion Book
This simple workbook takes 3-5 years to work through in order to arrive at a point where one will recognize who they truly are in the big and little picture called life. Absolutely required if one seriously is on a journey of discovery and is prepared to take steps to wholeness. This workbook will not make much sense unless using it in conjunction with the parent book Healing the Child Within.

The Truth About Depression: Choices for Healing

Charles Whitfield

HCI, 2003

A must-read
I've read more than dozen books this year on depression and related subjects, and this one is a real eye-opener. Dr. Whitfield pulls together hundreds of research studies examining depression and he finds the same patterns he saw in his own practice, namely that childhood trauma is a huge factor. The book goes on to provide extensive medical evidence explaining the specific ways in which trauma ...
