Teachers and Mental Health: The art of accurate speech and other ways to help students (children) not become psychiatric patients. (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781463410247)

Teachers and Mental Health is my attempt to teach the teachers of children (teachers and parents) some of what I have learned over 40 years of doing therapy, about the rather simple, but apparently poorly understood factors in childhood thinking that go on to create a lot of mental distress by adulthood. Some of the points in this book are: - Teachers teach correct speech, but most do not teach accurate speech - We end up believing what we say, which is why it is so impor tant to say it accurately - We end up acting on what we believe, which is another r eason why it is so impor tant to say it accurately - Children have a delusional belief system that sometimes continues throughout adult life - A minimum of half of the world is in a delusional state all the time, and 98% of people respond to at least one situation in a delusional fashion one or more times during an average day. - Our general understanding of the word responsible, contributes greatly to misunderstandings and poor outcomes in life - Failure to understand high and low levels of abstraction in our speech (and thinking) generates mistakes in communication.
