A psychologist with a reputation for penetrating to the heart of complex parenting issues joins forces with a physician and bestselling author to tackle one of the most disturbing and misunderstood trends of our time -- peers replacing parents in the lives of our children.Dr. Neufeld has dubbed this phenomenon peer orientation, which refers to the tendency of children and youth to look to their peers for direction: for a sense of right and wrong, for values, identity and codes of behaviour. But peer orientation undermines family cohesion, poisons the school atmosphere, and fosters an aggressively hostile and sexualized youth culture. It provides a powerful explanation for schoolyard bullying and youth violence; its effects are painfully evident in the context of teenage gangs and criminal activity, in tragedies such as in Littleton, Colorado; Tabor, Alberta and Victoria, B.C. It is an escalating trend that has never been adequately described or contested until Hold On to Your Kids. Once understood, it becomes self-evident -- as do the solutions.Hold On to Your Kids will restore parenting to its natural intuitive basis and the parent-child relationship to its rightful preeminence. The concepts, principles and practical advice contained in Hold On to Your Kids will empower parents to satisfy their children’s inborn need to find direction by turning towards a source of authority, contact and warmth.Something has changed. One can sense it, one can feel it, just not find the words for it. Children are not quite the same as we remember being. They seem less likely to take their cues from adults, less inclined to please those in charge, less afraid of getting into trouble. Parenting, too, seems to have changed. Our parents seemed more confident, more certain of themselves and had more impact on us, for better or for worse. For many, parenting does not feel natural. Adults through the ages have complained about children being less respectful of their elders and more difficult to manage than preceding generations, but could it be that this time it is for real? -- from Hold On to Your Kids

The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness and Healing in a Toxic Culture

Knopf Canada

'It all starts with waking up... to what our bodies are expressing and our minds are suppressing'Western countries invest billions in healthcare, yet mental illness and chronic diseases are on a seemingly unstoppable rise. Nearly 70% of Americans are now on prescription drugs. So what is 'normal' when it comes to health?Over four decades of clinical experience, renowned physician and addiction expert Dr Gabor Maté has seen how health systems neglect the role that trauma exerts on our bodies and our minds. Medicine often fails to treat the whole person, ignoring how today's culture stresses our bodies, burdens our immune systems and undermines emotional balance.Now, in his most ambitious and urgent book yet, Dr Maté connects the dots between our personal suffering and the pressures of modern-day living - with disease as a natural reflection of a life spent growing further and further apart from our true selves. But, with deep compassion, he also shows us a pathway to health and healing.Filled with stories of people in the grip of illness or in the triumphant wake of recovery, this life-affirming book, co-written with his son Daniel, proves true health is possible - if we are willing to reconnect with each other and our authentic selves.

MP3 CD Format Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) has quickly become a controversial topic in recent years. Whereas other books on the subject describe the condition as inherited, Dr. Gabor Maté believes that our social and emotional environments play a key role in both the cause of and cure for this condition. In Scattered, he describes the painful realities of ADD and its effect on children as well as on career and social paths in adults. While acknowledging that genetics may indeed play a part in predisposing a person toward ADD, Dr. Maté moves beyond that to focus on the things we can control: changes in environment, family dynamics, and parenting choices. He draws heavily on his own experience with the disorder, as both an ADD sufferer and the parent of three diagnosed children. Providing a thorough overview of ADD and its treatments, Scattered is an essential and life-changing guide for the millions of ADD sufferers in North America today.

Cand corpul spune nu este un studiu aprofundat, revelator, plin de informatii utile despre stres si influenta lui asupra sanatatii noastre psihice si fizice. Nu exista oameni care sa nu fi trecut prin episoade de stres acut, fie el provocat de fenomene exterioare, fie produs din cauze interioare. Boala secolului al XXI‑lea ne-a facut pe toti sa simtim macar de cateva ori in viata ca am ajuns la capatul puterilor, determinandu-ne sa luam masuri urgente ca sa restabilim echilibrul. Dupa cateva decenii de cariera medicala de exceptie, in care a urmarit legatura dintre stres si boala, Gabor Maté a strans laolalta povestile pacientilor sai, le-a confruntat cu cele mai recente studii clinice si a dezvaluit consecintele imediate, deseori ignorate, ale stresului de zi cu zi. Cartea sa este un semnal de alarma si o pledoarie pentru medicina biopsihosociala, una dintre cele mai bune cai prin care ne putem elibera de aceasta cumplita afectiune a epocii noastre. O colectie inedita de cazuri reprezentative, extrase din experienta profesionala a lui Maté, precum si dintr-o bogata bibliografie medicala.– The Vancouver Sun Aceasta carte are multe puncte forte. Atunci cand observa si scrie despre suferinta umana, inclusiv a sa, Maté este plin de compasiune si, de aceea, convingator.– The Globe and Mail Scris ca un exercitiu de claritate si compasiune, volumul este dupa chipul si asemanarea autorului sau: inarmat cu multe cunostinte si cu un suflet de aur.– The Georgia Straight Backgroundul medical si stilul clar ale lui Maté fac astfel incat chiar si procesele biologice complexe sa fie accesibile cititorilor care nu au o pregatire stiintifica.– The Gazette O explorare captivanta a relatiei dintre stres si boala. Maté cerceteaza in profunzime povestile de viata si psihicul pacientilor sai. Ce iese la suprafata nu este altceva decat o mare revelatie.– Edmonton Journal Gabor Maté (n. 1944) este un cunoscut medic canadian de origine maghiara, specialist in domeniul ingrijirii paliative. Cercetarile sale vizeaza in special traumele din copilarie, dependenta de alcool sau droguri si stresul. Printre cele mai cunoscute proiecte ale sale se numara rubrica de la The Globe and the Mail, colaborarea cu cateva clinici pentru recuperarea pacientilor dependenti de droguri din Downtown Eastside, Vancouver, si, mai recent, aparitiile publice in calitate de speaker motivational si autor. Pentru activitatea sa de exceptie din domeniul medical si pentru cartile scrise, Gabor Maté a primit Premiul Hubert Evans pentru nonfictiune si i s-au acordat Ordinul Canadei si Civic Merit Award din partea orasului Vancouver, unde locuieste.
