Child Seeking the Light: Life’s Mountains

Have you ever wondered what leads a person to the psychotherapist’s office? Do you think the present system for detecting troubled youth and/or adults is adequate? Do you sometimes wonder if you need to see a therapist? Do you know someone with traumas in life, and feel they need more than a pill for their problems? Is there enough research in the field of psychology to combat our social problems? What is help? Will volunteers and faith-based support be enough? This is a memoir, and more. The author invites you to look into the “windows” of her life – and her views on getting real help. It’s a survival call for more attention to children, youth, and adults who need professionals (not mere government agencies). She calls for massive change in the “welfare system” and redefining goals for a safer and more humane life for this culture. This is not pushing a “one school of thought” or a hand out. Early prevention and responsibility belong to individuals, their histories, families, culture, and “the village.”
