Book Description
This book if for people who...
Worry about making ends meet
Can't find a decent job
Struggle with family problems
Dread going to work
Don't have enough hours in the day
Fear for the future
Social power is necessary for human health. Author and physician Susan
Rosenthal reached this conclusion after decades of research, observation,
and activism. In Power and Powerlessness, she explains that most people
lack the healthy and fulfilling lives they deserve because they are kept
powerless and mistakenly accept this state of affairs as natural or
self-inflicted.
As a medical psychotherapist, Rosenthal is immersed in powerlessness every
day- people seek her help because they feel powerless to relieve their own
suffering, and she feels powerless to change the social conditions that
cause their pain. When she explains this, the usual response is, Why didn't
anyone tell me this before?
Written for a popular audience, Power and Powerlessness answers four basic
questions: What's going on? How did this happen? Why do we put up with it?
What will it take?
An uncommon work...penetrates beneath the surface...well researched and
gripping ...deserves to be widely read.
Christopher Shelley
