Between Trauma and the Sacred
The relatively frequent occurrence of rapid onset and very brief, but often florid, psychotic states, with periodic recurrence, alongside relatively low rates of PTSD and chronic psychosis, were unexpected findings from the 2004 East Timor Mental Health Study, conducted in the context of the country’s recently won independence and in the wake of the atrocities endured in the protracted fight for sovereignty. Further unanticipated was the frequent association of recurrence with the time of the new moon (fulan lotuk) and other times or places of sacred (lulik) or associated cultural significance. The perceived violation of culturally sacrosanct lulik obligations often also appeared to foresh...

Handbook of Dissociation
Within the last decade there has been a tremendous explosion in the clinical, theoretical, and empirical literature related to the study of dissociation. Not since the work done at the tum of the century by Pierre Janet, Morton Prince, William James, and others have the psychological and medical communities shown this great an interest in describing and understanding dissociative phenomena. This volume is the result of this significant expansion. Presently, interest in the scientific and clinical progress in the field of dissociation is indicated by the following: 1. The explosion of conferences, workshops, and seminars devoted to disso ciative disorders treatment and research. 2. The emerge...
Trauma-Informed Evangelism
“We are at the forefront of a new reformation.” So declares Elaine Heath in Trauma-Informed Evangelism, aiming to recover the God of love from the structures of hate that pervade Christian communities in America today. In their new guide, she and Charles Kiser work toward bringing this reformation to fruition through ministering specifically to the spiritually traumatized. Over the course of their study, Kiser and Heath amplify the voices of those who suffered misogynistic, racist, or homophobic abuse at the hands of the church. While carefully listening to these stories, Kiser and Heath bring them into conversation with the passion and resurrection of Jesus. Engaging with womanist and l...
So Stressed
So Stressedis also a landmark health book for women by two internationally respected female physicians. It combines insights from the authors' combined 50-plus years of clinical experience to reveal a unique view on stress and how it affects women's bodies and minds. McLellan and Hamilton reveal how stress disrupts the intricate balance of the female body to make it the root cause of an astoundingly wide range of physical problems. They have pulled together findings from around the world that substantiate their breakthrough view of stress as a previously unsuspected, widespread factor in chronic health conditions and premature ageing. They guide readers through the body in an accessible, interesting new way to show stress's effect on brain and pain, endocrine and immune systems, metabolism and heart, libido and reproductive systems, and basic wellbeing. Their cutting-edge findings make essential reading for women of all ages, and couldn't be timelier. This very important book will enable women everywhere to make lifestyle choices that will change - and possibly save - their lives.
The Empathic God
What if Jesus did not come to die for our sins? What if, instead, Jesus's life and death was intended to provide a way out of our shame? While traditional Christian teachings about the atonement emphasize sin as guilt and transgression against God's will and commandments, Frank Woggon points out that clinical spiritual care reveals that the human condition is predominantly marked by shame rather than guilt. In The Empathic God, Woggon examines myopic readings of the Jesus event that, in turn, have embedded distortions into traditional paradigms of the atonement. In contrast, Woggon mines narratives of the human condition to engage in a critical examination of the Jesus story. As a clinician ...
