  An unhappy childhood often affects who we become in adulthood and our capacity to enjoy whatever successes we achieve. In Healing of a Psychotherapist: A Journey of Rebellion, Reflection, and Redemption, Charles McCormack, MA, MSW, LCSW-C, uses his own life in illustration. With searing honesty, McCormack lays bare his personal and professional ordeals, along with the lessons he’s drawn and continues to draw. Though his story is unique, his struggles are not; thus, McCormack’s narrative works its way into the heart of each of us. His take home, the one given to him by his mother on her deathbed, is clear. Staring into his eyes, she was emphatic: “Charlie. Have a good life. Have a good life.,” refusing to break her hold upon him until he finally committed, “I will, mom, I will, “ all the while thinking, “how the hell do I do that?” McCormack hopes that sharing his story through this book brings his readers insight and healing. 
  Mr. McCormack holds master's degrees in Psychology and Social Work. Since 1974, he has worked in in-patient psychiatric units, family violence, sexual abuse treatment, and SUDs treatment programs, and private practice. In 1988, he was named the Senior Social Worker of Adult Long-term Inpatient Services at Sheppard Pratt. His writings include “Treatment of the Borderline/Schizoid Couple,” "Treating Borderline States in Marriage," and "Essence" (memoir), awarded the Montaigne Medal for being the most thought-provoking of books. He was a long-term faculty member of the Washington School Psychiatry and Clinician of the Year (Maryland Society of Clinical Social Work). Long before social work embraced trauma-informed approaches, McCormack wrote about and trained social workers in ways of conceptualizing and humanizing work with individuals and couples impacted by major psychopathology. In 2023, McCormack was the recipient of the University of Maryland School of Social Work's Emeritus Award for contributions to the profession.

  Kyshtym Disaster The: The...

  For decades, it was believed that the first major accident at a nuclear power plant took place at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania in 1979, which took nearly 15 years and $1 billion to fully clean up after that disaster. However, Three Mile Island paled in comparison to Chernobyl, which to this day remains the most notorious nuclear accident in history. Located in the Ukraine, the Chernobyl power plant was undergoing experiments in the early morning hours of April 26, 1986 when it suffered a series of explosions in one of its nuclear reactors, killing over 30 people at the plant and spread radioactive fallout across a wide swath of the Soviet Union. Although the Soviets would try to cover up just how disastrous the accident at Chernobyl was, it was impossible to hide the full extent of the damage given that radioactive material was affecting Western Europe as well. All told, the accident caused an estimated $18 billion in damages, forced the evacuation of everybody nearby, and continues to produce adverse health effects that are still being felt in the region.  
  	The disasters emphatically demonstrated the dangers of nuclear power plants, and it brought about new regulations across the world in an effort to make the use of nuclear energy safer. Meanwhile, scientists and scholars are still studying the effects of the radiation on people exposed to the disasters and continue to come up with estimates of just how deadly they were. 
  	As it turned out, however, Chernobyl was not the first major nuclear disaster that the Soviets tried to hide. In 1957, a nuclear disaster occurred in an area near the Ural Mountains, far to the east of Moscow and to the north of the border with Kazakhstan, and to this day, it is a disaster few have heard of, even though it was the world’s worst nuclear disaster until Chernobyl. For those aware of it, it is now known as the Kyshtym disaster.

  How does a child survive years of unimaginable abuse? 
  She splits. 
  And splits again. And again. And again. 
  And she does survive. But not without consequences. 
  As a young adult, years after her physical abuse has ended, Maggie Walters struggles with an 
  unpredictable temper and socially difficult behaviour. After several false starts she finds a therapist 
  who she trusts, just enough, to start talking about the childhood locked away behind the anger and 
  isolation she has learnt to live with. 
  Eventually she is diagnosed with Multiple Personality Disorder, MPD (now known as Dissociative 
  Identity Disorder or DID). 
  Gradually, she understands. It was not Maggie who survived her childhood. The instinct to survive 
  created an alternative identity called Annie, who with a myriad of other ‘alters’, lived through the 
  abuse inflicted on her. 
  Decades later, with a husband and three much-loved children, Maggie strives to live a normal life 
  despite a past which has left her internal world with a hidden, dark secret. Every day, unseen by 
  those around her, trigger incidents fill her head with voices, the chaotic remnants of her other selves 
  who lived the childhood she couldn’t. This is the ‘normal’ which Maggie has learned to live with. 
  In SPLIT Maggie tells the story of managing this ‘normal’, of understanding and accepting her past, 
  and standing strong in the life she has built from the ashes of her broken childhood. 
  It is a story not only of survival, but of self-acceptance, of the triumph to simply live. You will not 
  read another book like it.
