When tragedy strikes how will you cope with it? Will you admit you
need help to deal with the crisis or will you attempt to deal with
it on your own? Not everyone can afford a therapist even when they
need one. Perhaps you were brought up in a family that believes
that admitting you need help is a weakness. It takes strength to
admit you need help and seek it. "Defining Moments; Breaking
Through Tough Times" was written by Clinical Psychologist, Dr.
Dorothea S. McArthur, to assist those who need help but cannot or
will not seek it. There are 66 short chapters, divided into 8
sections, each on dealing with a different issue. I was quickly
drawn into this book. I am amazed at the tidbits of wisdom that
comes out of each chapter. Here are just a few of the lessons that
McArthur shares with readers: "Take the blow, to accept help from
others, to stay with the knockdown until it is understood, then to
shake it off completely, letting it go, with forgiveness, and then,
to go on, knowing more;" "The only real thing life does is dish out
opportunities: " and "The best you can do is to find out who you
are, do it and be honest about it." The third section of the book
is based on cats and dogs. After moving her practice to her home
where she had several animals, Dr. McArthur noticed her clients
interacting with her pets. Often it was as if the animal knew what
the client needed.
People are constantly facing economic crisis, war, death, problems
with their children or parents and any number of other situations
that arise. They don't always know how to deal with the problems
they face. Dorothea McArthur offers hope and encouragement. In
"Defining Moments" she addresses the problems I have mentioned. Dr.
McArthur doesn't stop there; she also addresses the problems facing
our leaders. This book is written in Layman terms, easy to read and
easy to understand. While this book was written to assist the
layperson, the professional will also find it an invaluable
resource. "De
