Download or read book Blind Trust written by Vamik Volkan and published by Pitchstone Publishing (US&CA). This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blind Trust is the culmination of more than three decades of profound immersion in the most pressing sociopolitical conflicts of our time, by the psychoanalyst with probably the most direct experience with such issues of any in the world. Author Vamik Volkan applies his knowledge of depth psychology to the turbulent and destructive human experiences in the current cauldrons of the greatest unrest and disaster throughout Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Illuminating the etiologic bases of war, revolution, massacres, and terror, as these have disturbed the world from ancient times to modern civilization, his voice speaks for the imperative of reason and the application of modern analytic knowledge for conflict resolution at the highest levels. The subjects are large groups and their leaders: windows into the lives of the Prophet Muhammad, Stalin, Milosevic, Osama Bin Laden, and David Koresh are interspersed with examinations of religion and fundamentalism and a sober study of suicide attackers. Volkan's detailed and scholarly description of regressive movements in large-group identities, complemented by an equal attention to progressive and creative reparative forces, represents a significant expansion of our understanding of group psychology.

Book excerpt: BLIND TRUST, A True Crime Story By Frank P. Stiles GREED AND MURDER shattered the serenity of an affluent Ohio village and set police on a frantic quest to find the killers. The murders of 67-year-old Harriett Wernert and her 97-year-old mother, Velma Bush, in the confines of their own home shocked the quiet, affluent village of Ottawa Hills. It also demonstrated that evil can occur in any community. There had never been a murder in this small village, located on the edge of Toledo in northwest Ohio. The murders sent shock waves through the village as residents pressed local police for answers and scurried to find ways to protect themselves. Additional deadbolts and security systems were added, and some residents purchased guns. The village Chief of Police looked to the city of Toledo's Police Department for help, and because of the authors' investigative experience he was assigned to assist in the search for answers. The ensuing investigation, arrests, and trials of the three murderers, held simultaneously in three Common Pleas courtrooms, is packed with suspense.

Suffering brutal nightmares and horrific flashbacks, she clings to Alex, the wealthy businessman that rescued her from the water. Making the decision to move forward, she opens herself up to the idea of starting over on the island with Alex. While his protective and caring nature comforts her insecurities, her troubled heart is a different story. Are the horrible nightmares really memories trying to resurface? While memories start to re-emerge and their relationship is rocked, she tries to figure out how to reclaim her past and keep what she's found with Alex.
