About this title

Synopsis

Polgar gives an insightful and illuminating examination of the human condition, and his prognosis is encouraging. We have the ability to reach out fullest potential despite the systematic obstruction of our parenting, emotional, and moral development. The underlying cause: aberrant behaviors that are a product of dysfunctional families perpetuated inter-generationally and precipitated by adverse, environmental conditions to which children are exposed prenatally and during their most crucial formative years. Polgar's solution is simple. Since the obstruction of our development is environmentally induced, we can achieve optimal development in our parenting abilities, moral reasoning and emotional intelligence by incrementally altering environmental conditions. Such a change must occur at the grass-roots level and culminate in a global coalition of like-minded people. He believes that such changes will take five generations to accomplish.

About the Author

Alexander T. Polgar Ph.D. is a persistent and ever curious learner. He has combined in a forty-eight-year span several parallel careers grounded in a passionate pursuit to improve the individual and the collective human condition. TWO, which is the first book in a trilogy about addicts, who invariably become addicted, is the product of his accumulative experience assessing and treating individuals traumatized during gestation and the critically important formative years of life.Born out of constant curiosity and a developmentally achieved disdain for status quo establishment ways of thinking he has long ago abandoned the medical model explanation of most bad behavior, especially that of addicts. Instead, he has dared to pursue understanding, through reason and science, the tenets of enlightenment, where addicts come from and what it means to be one.
