Synopsis

Providing insight into the lives of troubled, at-risk, and high-risk kids, Psyche-Soul-ology offers a new approach to mentor this segment of the population to produce favorable outcomes. Author Dr. David L. Roberts, a practicing psychologist, presents a model that includes focusing on both the minds of the youths and their souls.

A companion to At the Mercy of Externals, also by Roberts, this edition provides a practical guide for social services personnel who work with troubled kids. Offering appropriate and specific case examples, Psyche-Soul-ology addresses everything from myths to misperceptions relative to issues of psychological development, sexuality, addiction, criminality, and intelligence, all mixed with proven approaches that maximize efforts to reach and guide kids successfully into their respective and subjective futures. This guide revisits the RFLAGS Model and introduces the codes of ethics, codes of conduct, and the concept of moral development and responsibilities that are needed to shape our value systems and the way we prioritize things in our lives.

Psyche-Soul-ology provides the resources and practical techniques to take kids and adults out of the bondage to external factors and gives them the internal perspective needed to successfully move forward in life.

About this title

Review

A complex and ultimately uplifting look at everyday crises faced by troubled kids, as told by a compassionate psychologist on the front lines.” by Kirkus Reviews

“Roberts explores psychological methods to help adults offer troubled kids the kind of guidance that could not only change lives but save them.” by Foreword Reviews

“Roberts concludes that his generally clear and well-written text is “Divinely Inspired.”This, and some of his more controversial ideas, could raise eyebrows among some readers. Still, it should be fruitful reading for mental health professionals, youth counselors and anyone else interested in the mysteries of psyche and heart.” by BlueInk Review
