Download or read book Anger and Rage Addiction the Self Pact written by Stephen Rich Merriman and published by . This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anger and Rage Addiction & the Self-Pact: New Lights on an Old Nemesis presents a close look at the dynamics of anger and rage, as viewed through the lens of Addiction Theory-drawing on discriminating, diagnostic criteria derived directly from the world of alcoholism and drug addiction. The insights and, more importantly, the ramifications for treatment of Anger and Rage Addiction that result, are profound. They depart decisively from hackneyed, and insufficient, "mitigation, modification and management" strategies that have long been in vogue as the standard approach for treatment of anger and rage "disorders." Moving beyond such rationally based interventions, a new approach, called the Self-Pact, draws completely on the Addiction model to establish its foundation and efficacy. The Self-Pact is presented in detail. The Self-Pact holds considerable promise in both curtailing the mayhem that untreated Anger and Rage Addiction looses on the outer world, and emboldening those afflicted with Anger and Rage Addiction to embark on their own odyssey, replete with discoveries, adventures, reconciliation with self and others, and personal encounters with "whole" states of being.

Download or read book The Wounding and Healing of Desire written by Wendy Farley and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using refreshingly unconventional prose, rising theologian Wendy Farley has written a theological account of the human condition that delves into the deepest dimensions of the soul. Considering human life from the perspective of the wounding and healing of desire, with desire being that within us which longs for connection, home, and beauty, Farley presents a passionate, moving account of the human condition that draws strongly upon the Christian meditative and mystical spiritual traditions. In doing so, Farley shifts the traditional images of sin and redemption into images of healing and power. The result is a theological memoir that reaches into the human depths and draws forth a response of the soul--in courage, compassion, and delight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GetAbstract Summary: Get the key points from this book in less than 10 minutes. Though there is not a lot of new material here, Noah Blumenthal manages to combine diverse ideas and create an extremely practical guide to personal change. He takes in two valuable elements. First, he is clear and methodical. Some books on change hurl readers into the process, but his multistep plan walks readers through every stage of building awareness and making changes. He demystifies the change process, suggesting small, manageable steps. Second, he insists on the importance of the larger context in determining behavior. Blumenthal gets readers to scour their past, present, future and surroundings for the factors that trigger, reward or support their bad behaviors. Likewise, he insists that readers get feedback from those around them and ask for considerable support. The result is an immediately applicable book. However, the advice might seem somewhat uncomfortable, as it exposes one's efforts to the (supportive) scrutiny of an entire community. getAbstract recommends it to readers who accept the author's call for emotional honesty and are seriously committed to change.
