Synopses

The Myth of Normal

Drawing on over four decades of clinical experience, Dr Gabor Maté describes how health systems can overlook the impact of trauma on both body and mind.

When the Body Says No

Based on scientific research and Maté’s clinical work, this book explores the mind-body link and considers how stress and emotional makeup may contribute to a range of common diseases.

Hold on to Your Kids

Co-written with psychologist Gordon Neufeld, this book examines a breakdown in parenting connection, identifies its causes and offers practical advice on how to “reattach” to sons and daughters.

In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts

Described as an award-winning modern classic, this work takes a holistic and compassionate view of addiction, including alcohol, drugs, sex and other self-destructive behaviours. It presents addiction not as an isolated issue affecting only a few, but as a continuum.
