PRESS RELEASE — FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
LOCAL AUTHOR TO ATTEND MIAMI BOOK
FAIR INTERNATIONAL
Book
signings available November 9, 10,
11
Miami, Fla., October
18, 2007 –
Stormy Smoleny Ph.D.,
nationally certified psychoanalyst
and author will be autographing her
new book, “In Search of the
Unwanted Self,” at the Miami
Book Fair International on November
9, 10, and 11 (Section F, Booth
number 115, Indigo Reef Publishing).
A long-time psychology instructor at
Miami-Dade College (Kendall Campus),
Dr. Smoleny now brings her expertise
to the printed page. In her new
book, she shows the way to resolve
inner conflicts that lead to
depression and anxiety, particularly
the conflict over whether or not to
disown the unwanted parts of self or
to address them.
“Most of us try to be positive,
constructive, and spiritual in our
outlook, only to inadvertently
overlook the part of us that
desperately needs our love and
understanding — the part of us that
if continually disowned, will wreck
havoc within us,” says Dr. Smoleny.
A
self-help book within a novel, her
book takes readers on a compelling
inner journey to find and reclaim
the disowned self – the abandoned,
unaided part of us that must live
outside our love because it’s too
negative, too painful or too
threatening. “In Search of the
Unwanted Self” shows readers
how to execute a daring rescue of
their unwanted self, allowing them
to reinstate it to its rightful
place in their psyche. Illustrating
the restorative power of integrated
negative emotion, this book
challenges the notion that all
negative emotion is undesirable and
detrimental, revealing the
psychological and spiritual benefits
of identifying, understanding, and
embracing all parts of the self.
“Moving beyond traditional
therapeutic technique, In
Search of the Unwanted Self
helps you understand the
constructive use of aggression. It
shows you how to enlist the power of
your negative side, using it to
bring balance and peace back to your
life,” said author, Dr. Stormy
Smoleny.
Featuring a series of conversations
between a young woman suffering a
loss and a psychoanalyst suffering
her own, this book both educates and
entertains, offering readers a new
way of thinking about their negative
side. To the delight of South
Floridians, it delivers its message
within a familiar local context, the
story set between Miami and the
Bahamas.
“In Search of the
Unwanted Self”
will help
readers learn:
— About
the powerful healing effect of
correctly processed aggression.
— How to
responsibly process negative
emotion.
— How
integrating negative emotion
eliminates depression and anxiety.
— About
the lies we tell our emotional self.
— About
the unitive state, where good and
bad coexist.
— How
the quest for purity can deter your
spiritual development.
