SynopsisDr. Whitfield provides a clear and effective introduction to the basic principles of recovery. This book is a modern classic, as fresh and useful today as it was more than a decade ago when first published. Here, frontline physician and therapist Charles Whitfield describes the process of wounding that the Child Within (True Self) experiences and shows how to differentiate the True Self from the false self. He also describes the core issues of recovery and more. Other writings on this topic have come and gone, while Healing the Child Within has remained a strong introduction to recognizing and healing from the painful effects of childhood trauma. Highly recommended by therapists and survivors of trauma., The Young Ken Kesey: A Psychedelic Life is the first scholarly treatment of Kesey's early life, covering his college years, his role in the emergence of San Francisco's psychedelic counterculture of the 1960s, and the writing of his two most important books, One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest and Sometimes a Great Notion . Placing Kesey's life in the context of his times, author Rick Dodgson identifies the forces that shaped Kesey's personality and ideas, looking particularly at the impact of the Beat movement and the influence of psychedelic drugs on his writing and personal history. Unique in its perspective, the book is also unique in terms of the quality and breadth of its sources, many of which have never been mined before. Included here are archival materials, a wide variety of published sources, and more than 40 original oral history interviews with the main players in the story., Frontline physician and therapist Charles Whitfield describes the process of wounding that the Child Within (True Self) experiences and shows how to differentiate the True Self from the false self.
