LAUNCH: Emotional Abuse: A Manual for Self-Defense by Zak Mucha
This book is about self-defense, not theory. Our lives depend on our willingness to identify the boundaries marking who we are and the criteria we desire for relationships. Emotional abuse creates a vicious dynamic where the victim is taught his or her feelings do not count and any pain suffered is, somehow, their own fault. This damage can radiate throughout every aspect of life.
Zak Mucha, LCSW, is a psychoanalyst and president of the Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis as well as a board member of the Legislative Drafting Institute for Child protection. He spent seven years working as the supervisor of an Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) program, providing 24/7 services to persons suffering from severe psychosis, substance abuse issues, and homelessness. Mucha has worked as a counselor and consultant for U.S. combat veterans undergoing training for digital forensic investigations in child pornography. He is the author of Swimming to the Horizon: Crack, Psychosis, and Street-Corner Social Work as well as two collections of poetry.
There will also be a reading by dogo from this book LIFE AFTER EGO: ZEN PRACTICE IN THE REAL WORLD, published by Dockyard Press.
