Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Counselor and therapist Dr. Beth Blevins Cujé's original approach to self-help takes a giant-step beyond most self-help books. Become the Person You Were Meant to Be answers the question, "Why am I this way?" but goes on to answer the question, "How do I change?" Providing a framework for self-monitoring, simple tools for change, and four keys steps to guide change, Cuje's Choice-Cube Method equips readers finally to answer both questions.According to Cujé, normal feelings of defensiveness and self-protection can be dangerous when individuals become stuck in those postures. She points out that readers can use her method to check bodily stress, negative emotions, painful and distorted thoughts, and misdirected desires. Then once aware of those reactions, they can learn to take responsibility for them and use her Choice-Cube tools and four key steps to make necessary changes. Developed out of years of experience as a therapist, university adjunct faculty member, and workshop presenter, this down-to-earth application of current brain research, trauma research, and attachment theory can help readers consistently resolve problems in the present, rework past problems, and program their future. The author believes this method can benefit therapists as well as secular readers and believers. "Real-life examples lend credibility and authenticity to the program...Individuals seeking to better themselves might find that the author's insightfulness and the Choice-Cube Method work well for them." - ForeWord Clarion Reviews

Victim and Victimizer
Author: Yiu-Wing Fung
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 0567430049
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
This book attempts an interesting exercise in character analysis. It scrutinizes the speeches of Joseph in such a way as to expose the problematic nature of his claims to know God's intentions. While Judah is forced by Joseph's test to choose slavery for the sake of his father's survival, the ironic reversal of Judah's role from victimizer to victim is undercut by the rationale by which he had Joseph sold in order to save him. Unwittingly, Joseph mistakes this rationale as a divine principle that undergirds his suffering and he dreams of domination for the same purpose of survival. He is unaware of Judah's real predicament and this double blindness calls into doubt the coalescence of perspectives of Joseph and the narrator.

The Rise of Victimhood Culture
Author: Bradley Campbell
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319703293
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
The Rise of Victimhood Culture offers a framework for understanding recent moral conflicts at U.S. universities, which have bled into society at large. These are not the familiar clashes between liberals and conservatives or the religious and the secular: instead, they are clashes between a new moral culture—victimhood culture—and a more traditional culture of dignity. Even as students increasingly demand trigger warnings and “safe spaces,” many young people are quick to police the words and deeds of others, who in turn claim that political correctness has run amok. Interestingly, members of both camps often consider themselves victims of the other. In tracking the rise of victimhood culture, Bradley Campbell and Jason Manning help to decode an often dizzying cultural milieu, from campus riots over conservative speakers and debates around free speech to the election of Donald Trump.

Handbook of Sex Trafficking
Author: Lenore Walker
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319736213
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
This definitive reference assembles the current knowledge base on the scope and phenomena of sex trafficking as well as best practices for treatment of its survivors. A global feminist framework reflects a profound understanding of the entrenched social inequities and ongoing world events that fuel trafficking, including in its lesser-known forms. Empirically sound insights shed salient light on who buyers and traffickers are, why some survivors become victimizers, and the experiences of victim subpopulations (men, boys, refugees, sexual minorities), as well as emerging trends in prevention and protection, resilience and rehabilitation. These powerful dispatches also challenge readers to consider complex questions found at the intersections of gender, race, socioeconomic status, and politics. A sampling of topics in the Handbook: · An organizational systems view of sex trafficking. · Vulnerability factors when women and girls are trafficked. · Men, boys, and LGBTQ: invisible victims of human trafficking. · Organized crime, gangs, and trafficking. · Human trafficking prevention efforts for kids (NEST). · Treating victims of human trafficking: core therapeutic tasks. · From Trafficked to Safe House (C-SAFE). The Handbook of Sex Trafficking will interest a wide professional audience, particularly mental health workers, legal professionals, and researchers in these and related fields. Public health and law enforcement professionals will also find it an important resource.

A Nation of Victims
Author: Charles J. Sykes
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 9780312098827
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
Charles Sykes's ProfScam sparked a furious debate over the mission and the failure of our universities. Now he turns his attention to an even more controversial subject. A Nation of Victims is the first book on the startling decay of the American backbone and the disease that is causing it. The spread of victimism has been widely noted in the media; indeed, its symptoms have produced best-selling books, fueled television ratings, spawned hundreds of support groups, and enriched tens of thousands of lawyers across the country. The plaint of the victim - Its not my fault - has become the loudest and most influential voice in America, an instrument of personal and lasting political change. In this incisive, pugnacious, frequently hilarious book, Charles Sykes reveals a society that is tribalizing, where individuals and groups define themselves not by shared culture, but by their status as victims. Victims of parents, of families, of men, of women, of the workplace, of sex, of stress, of drugs, of food, of college reading lists, of personal physical characteristics - these and a host of other groups are engaged in an ever-escalating fight for attention, sympathy, money, and legal or governmental protection. What's going on and how did we get to this point? Sykes traces the inexorable rise of the therapeutic culture and the decline of American self-reliance. With example after example, he shows how victimism has co-opted the genuine victories of the civil-rights movement for less worthy goals. And he offers hope: the prospect of a culture of renewed character, where society lends compassion to those who truly need it. Like Shelby Steele, Charles Murray, and Dinesh D'Souza, Charles Sykes defines the ground of what will be a significant national debate.
