註釋"Dr. Christopher McCullough explains in this compassionate and enlightening look at the phenomenon that has created what some have dubbed a "nation of victims," calling ourselves victims ultimately does more harm than good. With telling examples from his years of private practice, Dr. McCullough shows that rather than helping us find satisfying answers to life's ultimate issues, therapy and recovery programs, under the guise of alleviating pain, actually reinforce our inadequacies, supporting the larger social myth: "If you suffer in some way, there is something wrong with you." Psychotherapy's fascination with labels, McCullough asserts, falsely assigns disorders where none exist, pathologizing our suffering rather than addressing its source." "In Nobody's Victim, Dr. McCullough presents a new way of looking at the issue of victimhood. Victimhood, he tells us, is not the natural consequence of abuse. It is our attitude toward the abuse that determines whether or not we feel like a victim. By expanding our understanding of freedom, Dr. McCullough offers more lasting and authentic ways to escape the victimhood trap, showing that living our freedom, with its attendant responsibilities, is the true path to becoming "nobody's victim.""--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
