| Pet Peeves of a Psychologist |
|
AND OTHER FLIGHTS INTO REALITY
| This is a book about how our
daily lives at work, at school, at worship, with our government,
and in our communities can negatively affect our families, minds,
and hearts, and how we subsequently treat each other and ourselves
unfairly and irresponsibly. The results are an over-abundance of
illness, poverty, drug use, crime, violence, school failure, marital
distrust, and family impotence. The costs in both money and morale
have gone through the roof. Yet we continue to apply band-aids,
most of which don’t even stick, and which only result in
throwing more energy, money, and misplaced hope at even more hopeless “cures.” |

Having observed thousands of lives with
practiced eyes and ears through his years of clinical practice,
Dr. Roosa knows that many people feel demoralized but don’t
know why. They neither like what’s happening to their lives
of quiet despair, nor are they able to articulate the social abuse
that’s falling on them like psychological atomic rain.
Dr. Roosa not only articulates pertinent social problems and their
effect on our lives, but also offers individual and cultural options
that, over time, can markedly alleviate the incredible stressors
that are affecting us all and help to revitalize our schools, workplaces,
worship centers, communities, and families. LET’S GET WITH
IT AND IMPROVE OUR LIVES!
