You'd Better Not Die Or I'll Kill You
Heller thought she'd found her dream man-- until he turned out to be a "frequent flier," the term doctors and nurses use to refer to patients who land in the E.R. more often than the average person goes to Starbucks. Here, Jane shares her experiences of looking after her chronically ill husband and offers practical guidance for handling it all without drowning. She provides advice on staying healthy while caring for a loved one and learning to communicate with medical staff.
Heller's Decision
Book 5 in the Heller series. Tilly Chalmers' new job as a researcher for a major TV star is turning out to be more eventful than she ever expected. Always on the lookout for a high rating story for her famous boss, she tangles with adult movie stars, and the man who inspired a couple of blood-thirsty young murderers. An unwelcome encounter with a long-time enemy stirs up trouble, and what important decision does Heller make that threatens to jeopardise their relationship?
The Selling of 9/11
The Selling of 9/11 argues that the marketing and commodification of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, reveal the contradictory processes by which consumers in the United States (and around the world) use, communicate, and construct national identity and their sense of national belonging through cultural and symbolic goods. Contributors illuminate these processes and make important connections between myths of nation, practices of mourning, theories of trauma, and the politics of post-9/11 consumer culture. Their essays take critical stock of the role that consumer goods, media and press outlets, commercial advertising, marketers and corporate public relations have played in shaping cultural memory of a national tragedy.
Seasons of My Life
Seasons of My Life is a retrospective compilation of reflections as the psychologist and author approaches sixty. Dr. Heller invites us along on his own journey through the life cycle, as he offers thoughtful views on the various phases and on life in general. Here are a few representative selections: Rummaging through the attic of my memories, this family value stands out. Love is more important than money and far more enduring. College was probably the first time anyone referred to me as an adult. Though deep down in the heart of my soul, I knew I wasn't. My life continues to remind me of how little I know, yet my saving grace is how hard I try to know. Mark my words. There is no happy ending without being at peace with yourself.

Healing Developmental Trauma
Written for those working to heal developmental trauma and seeking new tools for self-awareness and growth, this book focuses on conflicts surrounding the capacity for connection. Explaining that an impaired capacity for connection to self and to others and the ensuing diminished aliveness are the hidden dimensions that underlie most psychological and many physiological problems, clinicians Laurence Heller and Aline LaPierre introduce the NeuroAffective Relational Model® (NARM), a unified approach to developmental, attachment, and shock trauma that, while not ignoring a person’s past, emphasizes working in the present moment. NARM is a somatically based psychotherapy that helps bring into awareness the parts of self that are disorganized and dysfunctional without making the regressed, dysfunctional elements the primary theme of the therapy. It emphasizes a person’s strengths, capacities, resources, and resiliency and is a powerful tool for working with both nervous system regulation and distortions of identity such as low self-esteem, shame, and chronic self-judgment.

In Search of God
IN SEARCH OF GOD is a powerful book brimming with wisdom and food-for-thought concerning our images and notions of a deity. It is organized in terms of these compelling motifs: issues of faith and doubt, our concepts of God in the universe, our views of God as manifested in the relationships among people, and our beliefs about the presence of God within ourselves. This book inspires the reader to take his or her own faith more seriously, and to travel farther spiritually in order to refl ect on what it means to believe in God. Here are a few sample excerpts: "As we kneel in awe at the mystery of God, we stand in awe at the mystery of the self." "There is a library in your mind that stores all kinds of information about God -- including epiphanies." "God is many things.....Forgiveness must be one of them." "There is majesty and honor in doing a sincere favor; the hand of God is in that favor." "A universal God may be our fi nal port of call -- but a destination that helps us understand the entire voyage."

Rabbi Max Heller
This biography of a pioneering Zionist and leader of American Reform Judaism adds significantly to our understanding of American and southern Jewish history. Max Heller was a man of both passionate conviction and inner contradiction. He sought to be at the center of current affairs, not as a spokesperson of centrist opinion, but as an agitator or mediator, constantly struggling to find an acceptable path as he confronted the major issues of the day--racism and Jewish emancipation in eastern Europe, nationalism and nativism, immigration and assimilation. Heller's life experience provides a distinct vantage point from which to view the complexity of race relations in New Orleans and the South ...
