BooooKs!

Hi everyone!

I just want to say enough already. We have determined again and again that Vampire and Twilight enamorados comprise maybe a little less than half of the members who are answering these questions. I say we just give it a rest now. We don't need any más picks about whether tu amor o hate vampires, which is the best vampire series, o any other opportunities for fighting over an issue that's at a standstill.

A penetrating analysis of the dark corners of human deception, enlivened por intriguing case histories and experiments – It was written for the professional, yet is understandable por the layman as well because it is so well and clearly written. This is a great book for coaches, counsellors, and therapists working with individuals that are grieving o dealing with past issues. I found the book to be helpful in explaining why so many of the people I coach seem to have denied o repressed very emotionally traumatic incidents. The human mind is amazing and complex....
