Book #1     FROM TRAUMA TO ENLIGHTENMENT: Self-Therapy in Twelve Steps

My colleague Frederick Timm and I have written and self-published (April, 2009) a 44-page booklet on doing self-therapy.  It very much follows the philosophy of this website, yet offers much more practical guidance.

We have condensed and distilled our philosophy into twelve sequential steps.  Each step has its own chapter, followed by a series of step-specific tools and questions for enhancing your self-therapy experience  Also included are ten general tools for doing self-therapy and a list of 30 self-therapy slogans---and an explication of each.

Happy inner traveling!

Book #2      BEYOND MEDICATION:  Therapeutic Engagement and the Recovery from Psychosis

I am the co-editor, along with David Garfield, M.D., of this volume, published Fall, 2008 by Routledge in the United Kingdom.  I also have a chapter in the book: "Doing the Impossible Work in Impossible Places."  The book is oriented primarily, though not solely, for therapists and other clinicians who wish to work psychodynamically - and without medication - with people diagnosed with psychotic disorders.

"This superbly executed work is as courageous as it is timely. At last psychoanalytically informed psychotherapy is being recommended and justified for the treatment of psychotic patients – over and above – and often instead of – psychopharmacology! This work is recommended for all mental health workers but particularly for psychiatric residents and psychologists in training."
