Who Needs Light? - Hardcover

Who Needs Light? is a prescription for what ails "the general suffering public" in our families and communities throughout the world's philosophically Cartesian cultures where thought is seen as more valuable than emotion. Beginning with infant brain development, the author identifies startlingly familiar influences of Darkness from a new point of view-that of the difference between Head People and Heart People. The book includes a guide which defines the characteristics and habits of Abusive Personality Types. In lay terms, it shows how to identify and avoid these archetypal "Children of Darkness" wherever one might find them. Dr. May uses case studies, meditative exercises, original poetry, science and oral history to lead us step-by-step through the oppressive forces of materialism, self-centeredness and authoritarian religions which have shaped our present-day civilization. Her final vision is one of hope and radical spiritual evolution.

Kathryn E. May, PsyD is a clinical psychologist who has been in private practice in New York City and the Hudson Valley for 35 years. She has developed the radically new Gunsberg/May technique of visual focusing which has helped hundreds of clients to rework neurological brain channels, allowing them to see life, literally, from a more positive, present-oriented perspective. This, combined with her spiritual approach to social and developmental issues, has evolved into a treatment method for eliminating anxiety and depression as well as resolving personal and family relationship struggles. Dr. May is co-author of the book (underline) Back Rooms, Voices from the Illegal Abortion Era.
