Keeping Perspective

Bill Whittle reminds us, this Memorial Day, that our images and concepts of the past are not those of the actual participants.

Krismere - The Point of Discovery

Suspense thriller and paranormal mystery, Krismere - The Point of Discovery, bridges the here-and-now with a moment fifty-four thousand years ago that dramatically affected civilization. Counseling Psychologist Harry Wilson is a person of interest to a covert alliance of government agencies, a philanthropic institution and selected individuals and is manipulated to participate in an experiment to locate a great Temple. His physical presence is essential for the rare technology to traverse time and space, then and now. What happens once the experiment is launched is unknown, and what unfolds is not according to plan.

Just the FAQs, Please!

Just released on Kindle - Just the FAQs, Please, About Alcohol and Drug Abuse by Dan Baldwin and George Sewell.

Foreword to the Second Edition

Few subjects are more fraught with anxiety and dissention than addiction. Fewer still are the resources for non-professionals that treat the matter with knowing, compassionate humor. Just the FAQ’s, Please straddles adroitly that precarious borderland between intimidating complexity on one hand and frustrating oversimplification on the other. . . With the important distinction between substance abuse and dependence in place, the authors move to the heart of the book in describing the characteristic disruptions in normal behavior and thinking, both of addicts and of loved ones and others, whose lives are impacted by the addict’s seemingly willfully-destructive behavior. The book’s final chapters discuss contemporary treatment and information resources for addictive disorders. This portion of the book drives home the point that family members suffer as much or more than the identified patient the pain and anguish from this primitive, unrelentingly-powerful disorder.
