The More You Explain the Less They Understand

In this, perhaps the most encompassing of her works, Dr. Ruth Velikovsky Sharon brilliantly lifts the veil that shrouds the mystery of psychoanalysis, revealing intrinsic truths that can forever assist us in our journey to self-discovery and growth. Like a finely tuned and well-trained instrument, Dr. Sharon makes her probe into the human psyche sound easy - resulting in a compilation of luminous insights that are warm in their humanity, vibrant in their simplicity, and even touched with humor. Harvard Medical School trained, Dr. John C. Seed's contribution of the Physical Health chapter will enlighten the medical community as well as the average reader, and if abided by, will help prolong life.

In "The more you explain, the less they understand" I tackle the question of responsibility connected with the upbringing of children - not only for the children themselves, but for the equilibrium of our society, which depends on the attitudes, behavior, functioning - or malfunctioning - of each of its members. Seemingly small mistakes or even well-meant attitudes of parents have proved fatal for the development of their children and therefore parents should be held accountable for them - for good.

As a parent, a psychoanalyst, and the daughter of Immanuel Velikovsky, a psychiatrist and author of Worlds in Collision, I deal with how parents equip their children to handle frustrations, and how they provide the training both emotional and intellectual, to deal with the eventualities of life.

As the title states, I explain my approach briefly and get right to the heart of the matter in each chapter. So, don't expect a lengthy treatise but a straightforward treatment of the subject - with a lot of material for deeper thinking.

The contribution by my husband, Dr. John Seed, Harvard Medical school graduate, will enlighten the medical community and, if abided by, will prolong life.
