Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Born in Brooklyn. Not powerful enough to prevent the wounds of parental divorce at an early age. Nourished in the embrace of a large Sicilian extended family. Saved by a rambling neighborhood park & street life: freedom found! Played guitar in rock bands to pay for college. In medical school just after his twentieth birthday, witnessed his mom’s death – and many others – while becoming Board Certified in Pediatrics. Years in the challenging trenches of violence prevention, the wonder and liberation of men’s work, and the disciplined joys of martial arts. Keynote speaker in every state and overseas. Approaching seventy: still fit, curious, and creatively exploring his Muse, enjoying forays on horseback and sleeping under the stars.Bio Briefs for Victor La Cerva M.D. Victor La Cerva MD actively worked on violence prevention and wellness issues for more than twenty-five years. He is retired from his position as Medical Director of the Family Health Bureau, NM Department of Health, and holds an Emeritus clinical faculty appointment with the Department of Pediatrics at UNM Medical School. In 1984, he co-created the NM Men's Wellness movement, exploring the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs of men in our society. There are seven major organized events every year as this work moves into its 33rd year. In 1989 he organized four statewide workshops on violence with the NM Public Health Association. "Let Peace Begin With Us" was released in 1990, updated in 1993, 1996, and 2002, highlighting levels of homicide, suicide, child & elder abuse, domestic violence and sexual assault on a county by county basis. The documents also included general information about violence as a preventable public health problem, programs that are making a difference, and specific recommendations for action. A similar document on children's mental health issues, "Listen to our Children", was released in January 1998. He continued to "build the movement" as the NM co-chair for the 1994, 1996 & 2000 Silent Marches on gun violence, and the establishment of the New Mexico “Not Even One Team: Not one gun death in any young person is acceptable.” He was interviewed by Bill Moyers, in the 1996 PBS series on preventing violence, broadcast nationally, and consulted with the community after the Columbine school shootings. In 2008 he started Direct Village Compassion, a non-profit organization bringing resources directly to clinics and the main children’s hospital in Eritrea. Victor cares deeply about social justice and preventing violence, and believes that solutions are found by strengthening what is already good within ourselves, our families, our communities and our culture. His first book, "Pathways to Peace: Forty Steps to a Less Violent America" clearly articulates that vision. In early 1999, he released "Worldwords: Global Reflections to Awaken Spirit," a collection of concepts from around the world that don't have words in English, relating to peace and wholeness. He is co-creator of two award winning videos, Man to Man (Emmy 1997) addressing issues of young men, and Stolen Childhood (Telly & Visions Awards 2001), which explores the adverse impact on children of exposure to domestic violence. Masculine Wisdom was released in 2013. Drawing on various worldwide cultural and spiritual traditions, this book and forty-card set is designed to help men and women embrace a healthier vision of what it means to be masculine in the modern world. Victor holds the rank of sandan in Aikido, a Japanese martial art that accepts and redirects aggressive energy, so that neither the defender nor attacker is injured. This practice, combined with Buddhist explorations and Native American teachers, forms the core of a humanistic spiritual path. He has provided trainings internationally and in every state. His main focus at the moment is to bring to organizations, both large and small, practical wellness and stress reduction tools to improve personal wellbeing and efficiency. Letters to A Young Man In Search of Himself will arrive in 2018, and Hazelden will publish Cornerstones: Meditations For The Journey Into Manhood and Recovery in summer 2018. Both books evolved from his years of interacting with young men. CONTACT: 52 Zambra Way, Santa Fe, NM 87506; (505) 983-4233; E mail: heartsongsvittorio@gmail.com Website: myheartsongs.org
