Reflections of a Neuropsychologist: Brushes with Brains follows the life of an influential neuropsychologist's fascinating and varied career. Unique in its autobiographical approach, it features coverage of research into human evolution, archaeology and neurology. Beginning with his earliest memories (and implications for memory processes), John L. Bradshaw reflects on his archaeological expeditions preceding his primary career as a physiological psychologist and a behavioural neuroscientist. His influential research covers such rare neurological disorders as Huntington’s disease, Friedreich ataxia and Williams syndrome, and more common maladies like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, stroke, Fragile X, Tourette’s syndrome, obsessive compulsive and attention deficit hyperactivity disorders, schizophrenia, autism and depression. His fascinating personal experiences illustrating scientific discoveries will entertain, enthuse, encourage and inspire, and provide established research scientists and practising clinicians with a unique road map.

A leading anthrozoologist and the bestselling author of Dog Sense and Cat Sense explains why we are so drawn to pets. Historically, we relied on our pets to herd livestock, guard homes, and catch pests. But most of us don't need animals to do these things anymore. Pets have never been less necessary. And yet, pet ownership has never been more common than it is today: half of American households contain a cat, a dog, or both. Why are pets still around? In The Animals Among Us, John Bradshaw, one of the world's leading authorities on the relationship between humans and animals, argues that pet ownership is actually an intrinsic part of human nature. He explains how our empathy with animals evolved into a desire for pets, why we still welcome them into our families, and why we mourn them so deeply when they die. Drawing on the latest research in biology and psychology, as well as fields as diverse as robotics and musicology, The Animals Among Us is a surprising and affectionate history of humanity's best friends.

"I have to hand it to Bradshaw and Ellis: Once you suss out their basic cat-training philosophy, their methods totally work." -- Slate We often assume that cats can't be trained, and don't need to be. But in The Trainable Cat, bestselling anthrozoologist John Bradshaw and cat expert Sarah Ellis show that cats absolutely must be trained in order to enrich the bond between pet and owner. Full of training tips and exercises -- from introducing your cat to a new baby to helping them deal with visits to the vet -- The Trainable Cat is the essential cat bible for cat owners and lovers. "I doubt you'll find a more well-informed or scientific book on cats that better shows you how feline thinking works." -- Times (UK)

John Bradshaw is arguably the most accomplished and well-known leader alive today in the addictions field. He taught us about functional and dysfunctional families, showed us how shame could become toxic and poisonous to our core selves, and helped us understand and heal the wounded, vulnerable "inner child" conceived by, and thriving in, that environment. In Post-Romantic Stress Disorder (PRSD), Bradshaw gives readers a clear explanation of the difference between falling in love, lust, and true love. Based on his research, PRSD is a deeply serious psychological disorder and the cause of 40% of all divorces –divorces that could have been prevented. Every day people throw away perfectly good relationships because they just don't know how to navigate the tides, but if they could learn and understand the concepts Bradshaw presents in this book, the portrait of the family unit could have a whole new landscape. Join this great teacher as he opens the gates to a new frontier, tackling issues that threaten and endanger so many modern relationships. Be encouraged as he leads the way to a deeper and more fulfilling spiritual union. As he so eruditely observed some time ago, "As the health of the marriage goes, so goes the health of the family." Yet Bradshaw ladles out hope unlimited?if parents could restore a deep, authentic love for each other it could be passed on to their children and families would actually flourish.

Based on cutting edge science, this bestselling book on the inner lives of cats is "for any who may wonder what their feline companions are really thinking" (The New York Times). In Cat Sense, renowned anthrozoologist John Bradshaw takes us further into the mind of the domestic cat than ever before, using cutting-edge scientific research to dispel lingering myths and explain the true nature of our feline friends. Tracing the cat's evolution from lone predator to domesticated companion, Bradshaw shows that although cats and humans have lived together for eight thousand years, cats remain independent, predatory, and wary of contact with their own kind, qualities that often clash with our modern lifestyles. To live in harmony with our cats, Bradshaw explains, we first need to understand their inherited quirks including understanding their body language, and managing both their natural hunting instincts and their relationships with other cats. A must-read for any cat lover, Cat Sense offers humane, penetrating insights about the domestic cat that challenge our most basic assumptions and promise to dramatically improve our pets' lives -- and ours.

“Why are so many of us at times completely baffled by a relationship? How can we think we know someone so well and admit in the end that we hardly knew that person at all? Why do many people who work diligently and strenuously to gain wholeness and balance still feel so frustrated about having a fulfilling relationship? Why have so many people given up on love?”—from the Prologue John Bradshaw’s bestselling books and compelling PBS series have touched and changed millions of lives. Now, in Creating Love, he offers us a new way to understand our most crucial relationships—with our romantic partners and spouses, with our parents and children, with friends and co-workers, with ourselves, and with God. Bradshaw’s compassionate approach shows that many of us have been literally “entranced” by past experiences of counterfeit love, so we unknowingly re-create patterns that can never fulfill us. Here he provides both the insights and the precise tools we need to keep those destructive patterns from repeating in the present. And then he shows how we can open ourselves to the soul-building work of real love—and create healthy, loving relationships where we can be fully ourselves in every part of our lives.

Een eeuw geleden nog moesten de meeste honden werken voor de kost en werden ze gefokt op gezondheid, kracht en aanhankelijkheid. Tegenwoordig wordt er door fokkers meer gelet op uiterlijke kenmerken dan op gezondheid of geschiktheid als huisdier. Bovendien behandelen we honden te vaak als wolven of als harige mensjes. In Dit is de hond ontmaskert John Bradshaw, expert op het gebied van hondengedrag en hondenwelzijn, een groot aantal populaire ideeën over de aard van de hond, zoals de gedachte dat honden willen domineren. Bradshaw maakt duidelijk dat honden absoluut geen gedomesticeerde wolven zijn die willen domineren, maar unieke dieren met een uiterst sociaal gedrag, die het vermogen hebben om harmonisch samen te leven met andere soorten, in het bijzonder de mens. Bradshaw geeft ook belangrijke informatie over de anatomische en psychologische eigenschappen van de hond, aan de hand waarvan je het welzijn van je hond kunt verbeteren. In Dit is de hond laat Bradshaw helder en overtuigend zien hoe je je kennis van je hond kunt vergroten en hoe je nog beter met hem kunt omgaan.

Hunde sind seit Zehntausenden von Jahren unsere engsten Begleiter. Und obwohl wir noch nie so viel Geld für sie ausgegeben haben wie heute, fehlt es doch häufig am grundlegenden Verständnis für ihre Bedürfnisse. Höchste Zeit, dass jemand einmal ganz eindeutig die Partei der Hunde ergreift. Nicht die der Karikatur vom Wolf im Hundepelz, der seinen Besitzer bei erstbester Gelegenheit dominieren möchte, und auch nicht die des Modeaccessoires oder Showtieres, das Schleifen und Pokale für seinen Besitzer sammelt, sondern die des wahren Hundes, der ganz einfach Teil der Familie sein möchte. Biologen wissen heute weit mehr darüber, wie Hunde wirklich "ticken", als noch vor zwanzig Jahren, und John Bradshaw war an dieser Forschung maßgeblich beteiligt. Mit diesem Buch möchte er die neuen und zum Teil erstaunlichen wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse dem Hundehalter nahebringen und damit für ein besseres Verständnis unseres besten Freundes werben.

John Bradshaw, one of the world's leading dog experts, brings us a compelling insight into what dogs would ask us for, if only they knew how. The dog has been mankind's faithful companion for tens of thousands of years, yet today finds itself in crisis throughout the western world. Until just over a hundred years ago, most dogs worked for their living, and each of the many breeds had become well suited, over countless generations, to the task for which they were bred. Now, in their purely domestic roles we fail to understand their needs. And it is time that someone stood up for dogdom: not the caricature of the wolf in a dog suit, ready to dominate its unsuspecting owner at the first sign of weakness, not the trophy animal that collects rosettes and kudos for its breeder, but the real dog, the pet that just wants to be one of the family and enjoy life. Biologists now know far more about what really makes dogs tick than they did twenty years ago, but this new understanding has been slow to percolate through to owners, and has not yet made enough of a difference to the lives of the dogs themselves. This book is here to set the record straight.

"Dogs have been mankind's faithful companions for tens of thousands of years, yet today they are regularly treated as either pack-following wolves or furry humans. The truth is, dogs are neither--and our misunderstanding has put them in serious crisis. What dogs really need is a spokesperson, someone who will assert their specific needs. Renowned anthrozoologist Dr. John Bradshaw has made a career of studying human-animal interactions, and in Dog Sense he uses the latest scientific research to show how humans can live in harmony with--not just dominion over-- their four-legged friends. From explaining why positive reinforcement is a more effective (and less damaging) way to control dogs' behavior than punishment to demonstrating the importance of weighing a dog's unique personality against stereotypes about its breed, Bradshaw offers extraordinary insight into the question of how we really ought to treat our dogs"--

What if you had the chance to ask the God of the Bible questions? What would you ask? What if the opposite view was represented. Would you welcome that as well?

A Conversation between Theos and Diabolos

This classic book, written 17 years ago but still selling more than 13,000 copies every year, has been completely updated and expanded by the author. "I used to drink," writes John Bradshaw,"to solve the problems caused by drinking. The more I drank to relieve my shame-based loneliness and hurt, the more I felt ashamed." Shame is the motivator behind our toxic behaviors: the compulsion, co-dependency, addiction and drive to superachieve that breaks down the family and destroys personal lives. This book has helped millions identify their personal shame, understand the underlying reasons for it, address these root causes and release themselves from the shame that binds them to their past failures.

En chacun de nous un petit enfant appelle au secours et souffre quand on ne l'entend pas. Cet enfant, nous faisons comme s'il n'existait pas: nous ignorons délibérément ses désirs, ses frustrations, ses craintes et son besoin d'amour. Résultat? Nous croyons être des adultes, alors que nous ne sommes que de grands enfants éternellement insatisfaits, alcooliques, dépendants de toutes sortes de drogues, incapables d'entretenir des relations épanouies. Ce tableau peu réjouissant du monde adulte, il n'en tient qu'à vous de le mettre de côté pour peindre le vôtre avec des couleurs plus gaies. Comment? En vous réconciliant avec votre enfant intérieur. Retrouver l'enfant en soi est la synthèse des ateliers que l'auteur a mis sur pied à l'intention de tous les adultes malheureux et mésadaptés de la société. En tendant la main à votre enfant intérieur, vous l'aidez à terminer sa croissance et vous devenez un adulte épanoui qui s'abreuve à la source même de son équilibre.

La honte provoque en nous un besoin maladif d'accomplir des performances et incite à tisser des liens basés sur la codépendance. Tous ces problèmes conduisent à l'effondrement de notre système familial et nous empêchent d'évoluer sur le plan personnel. Par le biais d'un témoignage bouleversant, John Bradshaw révèle que la honte est à l'origine de bien des problèmes de compulsion et de dépendance. Puisant à même ses nombreuses années d'expérience en counseling, l'auteur montre comment nous pouvons vaincre la honte en utilisant des techniques d'affirmation, de visualisation et de méditation dirigée. Insistant sur la nécessité de nous accepter tels que nous sommes, il expose des méthodes sûres pour nous amener à maîtriser notre monologue intérieur et à reprogrammer nos émotions de manière à nous libérer de la honte qui nous enchaîne au passé. Cet ouvrage apporte des réponses novatrices aux questions fondamentales que pose l'érosion des valeurs sociales et individuelles.

Jede Familie hat Geheimnisse.und sie wirken oft über Generationen hinweg.
