Synopsis "Izkoptais Launums: Psihoterapijas Rokasgramata (in Letonia)"
Psychotherapy handbook with practical examples. The concept "refined evil" involves the transfer of hidden and unknown things from generation to generation. The book is easily perceived, with no excessive wordiness or complicated terminology, with the author describing specific and recognisable examples from public life since the beginning of the post-Modern era. These examples relate to situations that we and others experience on an everyday basis, and their presence forms us and our societies as they are. The examples lead to endless questions about the things that are incomprehensible in people, in relationships among people, and in society at large. The book offers a unique opportunity to understand the reasons for differences of opinion that have been accumulated by numerous generations. The book makes it possible to understand this inherited surrogate, which is propagated, maintained and cultivated without knowing that this is happening and while suffering because of it. Loneliness, conflicts, misunderstandings, poverty, disease and addictions are unnecessary. We unconsciously continue to follow refined evil as if it were a religion Refined evil seeps into inherited mutual human attitudes, through parents and grandparents, other family members, friends, acquaintances, professions and jobs, competences, fashions, politics, the mass media, economics, business, medicine, etc. "Refined Evil" helps readers to identify endless and widely used manipulations used against individuals. Valuable theoretical ideas wonderfully illustrate the psychological instruments that modern people need so as to spot and manage these manipulations. The book contains an essay and several letters that are analysed, as well as a will of positive inheritance as a successful example for the development of ideas in future. The book offers a vision that should be pursued, revealing loyalty, self-respect and kindness. "Refined Evil" offers many examples that are interpreted and publicly discussed. This makes the content more valuable in that readers can constantly apply it to themselves and to others, thus receiving new and ever new ideas. The popular tone of the book will always be of interest to those who wish to improve themselves and to develop their consciousness. The book is educational, thus directly and indirectly training readers in terms of forcing them to think about and review their values.
