Summary

In "Crime: Its Cause and Treatment," Clarence Darrow offers a penetrating exploration into the sociological, psychological, and economic factors contributing to criminal behavior. Drawing upon case studies, empirical data, and philosophical inquiry, Darrow employs a persuasive and accessible literary style that blends eloquence with rigorous argumentation. Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, a time marked by significant social upheaven including the rise of industrialization and urbanization, this work seeks to dismantle the simplistic notions of criminality by arguing that individuals are often products of their environment. Clarence Darrow, renowned as one of America's preeminent defense attorneys, was deeply influenced by his roots in the progressive reform movement and his advocacy for the rights of the marginalized. His extensive legal experience, coupled with a passionate commitment to social justice, propelled Darrow to confront the systemic failures of societal institutions that contribute to crime. His insights are shaped by a lifetime spent challenging the status quo and defending those who are often vilified by society. "Crime: Its Cause and Treatment" is not just a work for legal scholars, but a critical read for anyone interested in understanding the deeper roots of criminal behavior. Darrow'Äôs compelling arguments invite readers to rethink their perceptions of justice and morality, making it a must-have for advocates of reform and for those who seek an empathetic perspective on crime.

    "This book is must [listening] . . . although it will at times shock and perhaps even offend the sensibilities of traditional therapists." —American Journal of Psychiatry 
 
 
 
This book brings together Erich Fromm's basic statements on the application of psychoanalytic theory to social dynamics. At the same time, it offers an image of man consonant with the hopes of radical humanism. 
 
 
 
The Crisis of Psychoanalysis is a collection of nine brilliant essays. Although his work is deeply rooted in Freudian theory, Fromm further develops Freud's doctrines by including both social and ethical dimensions, and applies his discoveries and insights to address the problems we face in society at large.

    Stolen Child - Kidnapped at 12...

    "My name is Marie-Claire. I have had nightmares every night from the time I was 11, when I was kidnapped.”
From the clutches of a French family who tortured her into the grips of an Algerian family who kidnapped and confined her, Marie-Claire went through hell before making a spectacular escape and reaching France.
There are lives whose reality is hard to imagine. Marie-Claire's life is one of those. An unwanted child, born in France, beaten, involved in drug trafficking, she was abandoned, temporarily placed in the care of Social Services, before being returned to her parents—and then she was kidnapped by her stepfather and then by her father’s family that included a radicalized Islamic "tutor." She went through hell for ten years before escaping and starting on a path to recovery in which suffering and hardships kept getting worse, but which eventually led her to the hallowed halls of a French university, from where she continues to fight for the hundreds of children kidnapped by a parent—children who, every year, are victims of their parents' crimes and of institutional abandonment. 
She also uses her personal experience to look at mixed marriages, parental authority, parental responsibility. She points out with intelligence and accuracy the blind spots in the law, the cowardice of institutions, and the indifference of public opinion in the face of crimes whose victims are, first and foremost, thousands of children.
The life of Marie-Claire is not a novel.

    What If You're Right? shows you how to end self-improvement exhaustion and find you are utterly wise, mighty, held, and whole-despite feeling and being told otherwise. 
Emily Colwell, MSSW, ND-a therapist and physician with a combined thirty years of experience-dispels the myth that we need to look outside ourselves for validation and direction. 
The lens of wrongness is everywhere in our culture. It convinces us that cues from our minds and bodies are innately incorrect. We're told that being fearful is wrong, being anxious is wrong, having debilitating fatigue is wrong, and so on. 
But what if our minds and bodies have been right all along? 
When Emily shifted from seeing her experiences through the lens of wrongness to embracing curiosity in those micro-moments as she navigated chronic illness, thyroid cancer, changing sexual orientation, and childhood trauma, her life underwent a profound transformation. She started to see that her seemingly "wrong" feelings were the body's messengers, offering guidance and wisdom. 
What If You're Right? will show you: 
How to stop feeling like a relentless self-improvement project.How to update your relationship with your health challenges, parenting insecurities, body image and more so you can access the relief you've always wanted.How to pause the fight against parts of yourself, including anxiety and fear, that feel wrong, and instead discover how curiosity changes your experience. 
What if it turns out your rightness is one micro-moment away? The micro-moment offers the invitation to pause and tap into your most powerful, ever-present ally, the one that's been patiently waiting for you to come home.Discover how right you are in a world that makes you feel so wrong.
