The Power of Humility
Choosing Peace Over Conflict in Relationships
Humility involves relationships. These include our relationships with our self, others, and if we choose, the God of our understanding. We can begin to define humility as having openness to learning more about these three relationships. And it is more. In The Power of Humility (HCI Books - $14.95), the authors explore humility – and how we can use it to our benefit -- from the perspective of all three of these relationships.
Humility is not about groveling or being a doormat. Instead, it is a powerful attitude and state of mind that, when we are in the pain of conflict, opens us to more choices and peaceful resolutions. Humility assists our ordinary ego-centered unawareness into a more expansive, alive, and conscious awareness.
We have choices to handle the conflict and pain that we feel when we find ourselves in a triangle. For example, the power of humility can be used in the workplace where two or more people have polarized against each other to the detriment of the company's functioning. It can also be used to bring about peace in conflicted families and other painful relationships
Humility (if found in each individual) can bring the conflicted polarity out of an either/or stance to a both/and reality that will be healing for everyone, including a family, company, organization, or group.
Even more, mature humility has the power to co-create a life of peace and Unity where all the boundaries disappear between our Self and our Creator finally fulfilling our true destiny.
The power of humility is the paradox that as we cultivate and accept our "human-ness" – our "humility" – we invite experiences of the Divine – peace, love, joy, gratitude – into our life and our relationships.
According to the authors of this breakthrough book, t he power of humility is that it is the key to better relationships –with self, others and God -- and inner peace. | |

The "Child Within" refers to that part of each of us which is ultimately alive, energetic, creative and fulfilled; it is our real self -- who we truly are.
Dr. Whitfield describes the journey of discovery and healing our fears, confusion and unhappiness. This book begins where many others describing adult children of alcoholics have left off. It also describes and develops the concept of adult children of troubled or dysfunctional families in general, rather than focusing only on the alcoholic family.
Members of Twelve-step Self-help groups and Adult Children Self-help groups will find this book especially useful in their own recovery work, both within and outside of their meetings. | .

| Misinformation Concerning Child Sexual Abuse & Adult Survivors
Successfully navigate the minefield of misinformation that can prevent justice from being done in child sexual abuse cases!
From the Foreword, by Robert Geffner, PhD, editor of the Journal of Child Sexual Abuse: "Too often, the public and some professionals have been misled by media publicity and articles . . . that appear scientific, but in reality, these are biased opinions or over-generalized research. Forensic cases are being decided in many courts based upon the recommendations of so-called 'expert witnesses'who do not actually know the clinical research or understand the dynamics of such abusive relationships."
This much-needed book points out and corrects misinformation that everyone who works with victims, offenders, or families in which sexual abuse has occurred needs to understand clearly. Especially vital in today's political climate, Misinformation Concerning Child Sexual Abuse and Adult Survivors gives you state-of-the-science information on such myths as "false memory syndrome," "recovered memory therapy," and the "lack of harm" to some sexually abused boys.
This book examines: - forensic issues, including the "false memory" defense and how the long-term impact of childhood sexual abuse is often misrepresented in court
- three separate expert examinations of Rind, Tromovitch, and Bauserman's well-known--and often misrepresented--review of long-term child sexual abuse outcomes
- treatment recommendations and guidelines for addressing the memory controversy in clinical practice
- the fascinating case history/cautionary tale of the child molester Robert Halsey, who was convicted and sentenced to two life sentences in 1993, and how public and academic resources were misused to claim he was wrongly convicted

Remembering what happened in any traumatic experience is basic and crucial to healing. For over 100 years the memory of abuse survivors has been questioned and challenged by all sorts of people, ranging from perpetrators to family members. More recently, this memory has been challenged by a combination of accused family members, their lawyers and a few academics who claim the existence of a "false memory syndrome."
In this groundbreaking book Charles Whitfield, M.D., voted by his peers as being one of the best doctors in America, brings his clinical experience and knowledge about traumatic memory to examine, explore and clarify this crucial issue that threatens to invalidate the experience of survivors of trauma and handcuff the professionals who assist them as they heal. This thorough, insightful work provides crucial information for anyone affected by a traumatic experience.. | .
