A hot-headed Thrash Metal bassist struggles with his abusive family history that affects his future with his House Songstress girlfriend. World-renowned Heavy Metal bass/vocalist Ramiro Espinoza of the band "Irate" seemed to have it all on stage. But, backstage his life was far from perfect. He grew up in a house hold, where his Jesus-obsessed father constantly spewed bible verses to him. On top of that, Ramiro, his mother, and sister endured lots of physical and emotional abuse at the hands of this mad man. Rock/Heavy Metal was an outlet for Ramiro, where he learned to play bass guitar and finally found his voice to sing. He wrote lyrics about his bad relationship with his father and other issues in the world that vexed him. He and two bandmates formed a trio with an aggressive, fast sound that captivated millions of fans. His fiance Noelle, an African-American House singer gave up her gigs in small venues in New York to tour with Ramiro around the world. While on tour, Ramiro repeated the same patterns like his father did to him, his sister and mother. Ramiro would put Noelle's music down, belittle her in front of everyone, and even got physical with her. Without hesitation, Noelle left Ramiro right in the middle of his tour. He knew he had a problem and couldn't fight his demons alone. His management arranged for a therapist to tour with this metal god, holding sessions between shows. Ramiro needed to make things right, so Noelle would meet him at the altar. But, his father who made his life a living hell as a child has resurfaced to annihilate Ramiro's happiness. Now, he must confront this demon in human form.

Introduction to Key Concepts and Evolutions in Psychoanalysis: From Freud to Neuroscience

Introduction to Key Concepts and Evolutions in Psychoanalysis offers an accessible starting point to understanding psychoanalysis by focusing on seven key psychoanalytic models and their creators and how the field has evolved over time from Sigmund Freud’s original ideas. The book is based on the premise that Freud started a conversation over 100 years ago that continues to this day: who are we, why do we suffer so, and how can others help?  Alexis A. Johnson seeks to make the invariably complex and sometimes contradictory terms and concepts of psychoanalysis more accessible for those being introduced to psychoanalysis for the first time, integrating them into a cohesive narrative, whilst using a broadly developmental perspective. Each model is given space and context, matched with relevant case studies drawn from the author’s own clinical practice. Written in an approachable, jargon-free style, this book brings to life the creators of the models using case studies to illustrate the ‘healing maps’ and models they have developed. The author methodically adds layer upon layer of increasingly challenging insights: Which model is useful or appropriate, and when and how exactly is it useful as part of the healing paradigm? Rather than aligning with any one model, Johnson makes the case that drawing upon aspects of all of these sometimes-competing ideas at various times is important and healthy. Introduction to Key Concepts and Evolutions in Psychoanalysis will appeal to undergraduate students of psychology encountering psychoanalysis for the first time, as well as trainees in psychoanalysis and those working across other branches of the mental health profession wishing to understand and drawn upon fundamental psychoanalytic ideas.
