Boondoggles!: New Book Exposes Commonly-Accepted ‘Deceptions’ in …

David W. Shave MD uses his ground-breaking text, ‘Boondoggles! Emotional Problems And Their Big Deceptions’ to dispute the many faulty concepts in the field of mental health, while announcing the existence of an unconscious entity that plays a major role in both developing and resolving emotional problems. Understanding this entity will make professionals more effective, and lay people more able to live happier and more harmonious lives.

St. Augustine, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/31/2014 -- Millions of people sit opposite therapists the world over and dig into their past in an attempt to resolve what they believe is making them emotionally uncomfortable, when it’s not the past. It’s the unrecognized present! Having enjoyed a long career in Psychiatry, Dr. Shave is now going public with his latest book that not only disputes flawed concepts like “PTSD,” “Transference,” “Catharsis,” “Small Talk,” and many others, but, most importantly, introduces for the first time the concept of the “unconscious entity” that could change the thinking of Psychology forever.

It’s all exposed in “Boondoggles! Emotional Problems And Their Big Deceptions” which knocks the often-complicated theories of Psychology down into a book that anyone can utilize.

Synopsis:

This book presents for the first time anywhere, the multiple faulty concepts in Psychology and the existence of an unconscious entity that plays a major role in both developing and resolving our emotional problems. It reveals an immense curative dimension of interpersonal communication never recognized before.

This book is a "must read" for not only professionals, patients, and clients in the field of mental health, but for people anywhere wanting to be more emotionally comfortable than they now are. It presents the hidden dynamics of "bullying," suicide, and murder, including senseless-appearing "mass murders."

Evolving from the author's earlier six academically books, and his many published and presented papers, this book makes them all primordial. Rather than any earlier book, the Author recommends “Boondoggles!” It says it all.

“Anyone involved in the field of mental health, communication theory, or just psychologically curious, will be able to change their entire state of being with this book,” explains Dr. Shave. His book reveals for the first time an extremely important cognition of both the conscious and unconscious mind, which has never been recognized before. That cognition is "predicate-equating" which is the making of two different entities the same if they are seen as sharing the same predicate. This can occur on an unrecognized part-person basis. It is the very basis for identification, or empathy. It was predicate-equating that freed the slaves in the Civil War, and predicate-equating that gave women the right to vote with the 19th amendment in 1920. This book also reveals for the first time anywhere, unconscious metaphorical communications in our "small talk" that have a capacity to make a person more emotionally comfortable when unconscious entity is projected and anger is unrecognizably expressed. That anger is expressed metaphorically to a listener by that predicate-equating. It shows that “small talk” is far from being small in importance and subjects don’t randomly arise, but arise by unconscious predicate-equating. Decreasing the unconscious entity makes a person more emotionally comfortable.

Since its release, the book has garnered a string of rave reviews. One reader commented, “We all like to be happy, we all want to be liked and to have "peace of mind.” Many of us struggle with issues from our past or current stresses that keep us in an emotional basement. We may become a social hermit, or may turn to booze or drugs, or may seek professional help that doesn't really help. The author points us in a direction that may show us a way out of the basement and back to happiness. He points out what doesn't work and what will. I enjoyed the book.”

Another reader adds, “It is a timely title because of the massive return of American war fighters with many emotional, physical, and mental issues. This is a must read for anyone in the mental health professions, including teachers. I like the unconscious entity idea. This book makes you feel as if you are okay and "it's all good" no matter what emotional turmoil you may be experiencing.”

“Boondoggles! Emotional Problems And Their Big Deceptions” is available now at all Barnes and Noble stores.
