Escaping Utopia Growing Up in a Cult Getting Out and Starting Over

Escaping Utopia Growing Up in a Cult Getting Out and Starting Over

We think of cults as bizarre inexplicable or otherworldly places that only strange people inhabit but cults and other abusive and high-demand groups (and relationships) are actually quite commonplace. In fact the behaviors social pressures and authoritarian structures that create cults exist to a greater or lesser extent in every human relationship and every human group. In the first in-depth research of its kind the author interviewed sixty-five people who were born in or grew up in thirty-nine different cultic groups spanning more than a dozen countries. What’s especially interesting about these individuals is that they each left the cult on their own without outside help or internal support. In Escaping Utopia: Growing Up in a Cult Getting Out and Starting Over the authors craft Lalich’s original and groundbreaking research into an accessible and engaging book the first of its kind focusing on this particular population. | Escaping Utopia Growing Up in a Cult Getting Out and Starting Over

Levelling Up Left Behind Places The Scale and Nature of the Economic and Policy Challenge

Levelling Up Left Behind Places The Scale and Nature of the Economic and Policy Challenge

This book aims to understand the predicaments of ‘left behind places’ and the scale of the policy challenge of ‘levelling up’ their economic prosperity. Drawing out lessons of wider international significance it examines how places (cities towns and localities) have grown apart over recent decades amidst deindustrialisation post-industrial transition and the disruptive shocks of the global financial crisis and COVID-19 pandemic. Using the UK case to illustrate its arguments the analysis identifies the different types of ‘left behind places’ and their distinctive economic experiences. The key features of urban and regional institutions and policies are reviewed to understand more about why despite some successes geographical inequalities remain an entrenched feature of the UK blighting the life chances and quality of life of its citizens and national economic progress as a whole. The weaknesses of past policies are highlighted and the case is made for a new mission-oriented policy model because only a radical shift in economic thinking governance and management is likely to achieve the ‘levelling up’ that is now a prominent refrain in the political lexicon. | Levelling Up Left Behind Places The Scale and Nature of the Economic and Policy Challenge

Treating Trauma and Addiction with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model A Bottom-Up Approach

In sharp contrast with the current top-down medicalized method to treating addiction this book presents the felt sense polyvagal model (FSPM) a paradigm-shifting bottom-up approach that considers addiction as an adaptive attempt to regulate emotional states and trauma. The felt sense polyvagal model draws from Porges' polyvagal theory Gendelin's felt sense and Lewis' learning model of addiction to offer a graphically illustrated and deeply embodied way of conceptualizing and treating addiction through supporting autonomic regulation. This model de-pathologizes addiction as it teaches embodied practices through tapping into the felt sense the body’s inner wisdom. Chapters first present a theoretical framework and demonstrate the graphic model in both clinician and client versions and then teach the clinician how to use the model in practice by providing detailed treatment strategies. This text’s informed compassionate approach to understanding and treating trauma and addiction is adaptable to any school of psychotherapy and will appeal to addiction experts trauma specialists and clinicians in all mental health fields. | Treating Trauma and Addiction with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model A Bottom-Up Approach
