      Toto je kniha o závislostech, tj. o něčem, co se týká každého z nás. Závislí totiž nejsme pouze na drogách, alkoholu, gamblingu nebo cigaretách.Závislost je cokoliv, po čem toužíme tak, že si nedokážeme pomoct, co nás dočasně utěší či uklidní, ale dlouhodobě nám či našemu okolí ublíží. Kniha přináší na tabuizované téma závislostí naprosto nový pohled. Vysvětluje jejich skutečné příčiny (traumata z nejranějšího dětství) a ukazuje cesty k jejich řešení (které se ovšem zásadně liší od těch, na které se spoléhá moderní západní společnost). Jak se v knize dozvíte závislost není důsledkem svobodné volby závislého, ale nemocí mozku.

    • Unraveling Trauma in the Body, Brain and Mind—a Revolution in TreatmentIn this culmination of his life’s work, Peter A. Levine draws on his broad experience as a clinician, a student of comparative brain research, a stress scientist and a keen observer of the naturalistic animal world to explain the nature and transformation of trauma in the body, brain and psyche. In an Unspoken Voice is based on the idea that trauma is neither a disease nor a disorder, but rather an injury caused by fright, helplessness and loss that can be healed by engaging our innate capacity to self-regulate high states of arousal and intense emotions. Enriched with a coherent theoretical framework and compelling case examples, the book elegantly blends the latest findings in biology, neuroscience and body-oriented psychotherapy to show that when we bring together animal instinct and reason, we can become more whole human beings.

      To heal addiction, you have to go back to the start... Dr Gabor Maté is one of the world's most revered thinkers on the psychology of addiction. His radical findings - based on decades of work with patients challenged by catastrophic drug addiction and mental illness - are reframing how we view all human development. In this award-winning modern classic, Gabor Maté takes a holistic and compassionate approach to addiction, whether to alcohol, drugs, sex, money or anything self-destructive. He presents it not as a discrete phenomenon confined to a weak-willed few, but as a continuum that runs through (and even underpins) our society; not as a medical 'condition', but rather the result of a complex interplay of personal history, emotional development and brain chemistry. Distilling cutting-edge research from around the world, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts avoids glib self-help remedies, instead promoting self-understanding as the first key to healing and wellness. Blending personal stories and science with positive solutions, and written in spellbinding prose, it is a must-read that will change how you see yourself, others and the world. · 10th anniversary edition, updated with new chapter on the Opiod crisis
