The "H" Word

About the Book

Bernard R. Buetens Ph.D., has over 30 years experience as a psychologist and through his work with patients he has discovered the destructive power of humiliation, which interferes with effective psychotherapy. With methods explained in this book, Dr. Buetens has taught both patients and other therapists how to recognize humiliation and deal with anger. Dr. Buetens considers humiliation insufficiently recognized by the mental health community.
The title of this book, "The H Word" does not refer to Hell, but rather to humiliation. Anyone who experienced humiliation knows the horrific emotional experience which is not easily forgotten and remains a fear forever.
This book is for anyone who wants to know more about anger and violence, and how to reduce the in order to feel joy and success.
There is an old saying, "where there is smoke there's fire." This work will demonstrate where there is anger there is humiliation. Dr. Buetens knows how anger and violence represent the smoke, and humiliation is the fire. By knowing the source of the smoke or anger, we can then fight the fire, humiliation.
