  This book contains three titles, which are: 
  Gestalt Therapy - Central to Gestalt therapy is the belief that individuals are best understood within the context of their environment and relationships, which helps them to recognize the interconnectedness of all aspects of their experience. Through this holistic perspective, Gestalt therapy aims to help individuals gain insight, resolve inner conflicts, and achieve personal growth. 
  Humanistic Therapy - At the heart of humanistic therapy is the belief in the dignity and worth of every person. Humanistic therapists work to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment in which clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly. This approach is often described as person-centered, a term coined by Carl Rogers, one of the key figures in the development of humanistic psychology. 
  Person-Centered Therapy - The essence of Person-Centered Therapy lies in the relationship between the client and therapist. Rather than focusing on diagnosing and treating specific problems, the therapy process is more holistic. It invites clients to explore their feelings, experiences, and sense of self in a supportive and nonjudgmental space. The therapist's role is not to advise or offer solutions but to listen actively and empathetically, providing the kind of acceptance that allows clients to confront their own truths. This unique dynamic fosters an environment where clients feel empowered to move toward greater self-awareness and personal transformation.

  1999 - The Year Low Culture...

  From pro wrestling and Pokémon to Vince McMahon and Jerry Springer, this look at the low culture of the late '90s reveals its profound impact and how it continues to affect our culture and society today. 
   
   
   
  According to Benes, there are many lessons to learn from the year that low culture conquered the world. Talk shows and reality TV foreshadowed the way political movements grab power by capturing our attention. Pro wrestling mastered the art of "kayfabe"—the agreement to treat something as real and genuine when it is not—before it spread throughout American society, as political contests, corporate public relations campaigns, and nonprofit fundraising schemes have become their own wrestling matches that require a suspension of disbelief. Beanie Babies and Pokémon demonstrate capitalism's resiliency as well as its vulnerabilities. Legal and technological victories obtained by early internet pornographers show how the things people are ashamed of have the ability to influence the world. Insane Clown Posse's creation of loyal Juggalos illustrates the way religious and political leaders are able to generate faithful followers by selling themselves as persecuted outsiders. And the controversy over video game violence reveals how every generation finds new scapegoats. 1999 is not just a nostalgic look at the past. It is also a window into our contentious present.

  Turtles on a Black Gum Tree

  Turtles on a Black Gum Tree is a creative retelling of Charles Ball's 1837 autobiography, Slavery in the United States, closely following the original narrative. It recounts his upbringing in Maryland, his forced march to the lower South, and his escape and journey back home. Although he died in obscurity, Charles Ball left us with one of the most comprehensive and uncompromising portraits of slavery in the post-colonial era. There has not been a re-telling of his story in over one hundred and fifty years.   
  Charles Ball walked from Georgia to Maryland in a period stretching from August until the following spring. The terrain was rugged and varied; the weather was alternately hot, wet, and cold; food was difficult to secure; shelter haphazard; and his clothes threadbare and inadequate. His shoes wore out quickly, and his second-hand boots failed so often that he had to wrap strips of hickory bark around his feet to keep them from falling apart. He had begun his flight from his late master’s plantation in Georgia on the ninth of August. By November, he had made it no farther than South Carolina. Inclement weather and starless nights had exhausted his patience; fear of being seen had worn on his nerves; loneliness and longing gnawed at his soul. If his physical and emotional needs were not at least partially met, he would falter and collapse, no matter the strength of his character.

  When Nashville identified its first case of coronavirus in March 2020, the city was between Public Health Department directors and as unprepared as the rest of the world for what was to come. Dr. Alex Jahangir, a trauma surgeon acting at that time as chair of the Metro Nashville Board of Health, unexpectedly found himself head of the city's COVID-19 Task Force and responsible for leading it through uncharted waters. 
   
   
   
  What followed was a year of unprecedented challenge and scrutiny. Jahangir, who immigrated to the United States from Iran at age six, grew up in Nashville. He thought he knew the city well. But the pandemic laid bare ethnic, racial, and cultural tensions that daily threatened to derail what should have been a collective effort to keep residents healthy and safe. 
   
   
   
  Hot Spot is Jahangir's narrative of the first year of COVID, derived from his op notes (the journal-like entries surgeons often keep following operations) and expanded to include his personal reflections and a glimpse into the inner sanctums of city and state governance in crisis.
