Un lúcido análisis sobre la memoria, la imaginación y los recuerdos a través de una historia real de superación, pero también sobre el trauma, sobre las heridas y la sanación. Boris Cyrulnik, eminente psiquiatra y psicólogo, profundo conocedor de la mente, vivió una infancia traumática. Separado de sus padres, que fueron asesinados en campos de concentración, vivió como un fugitivo, escondido en casas de familias de acogida y en orfanatos. Como la mayoría de los supervivientes al volver de los campos, y como la mayoría de personas que han vivido situaciones traumáticas durante su infancia, Boris Cyrulnik se refugió en el silencio después de la guerra. Sálvate, la vida te espera es un libro sobre el trauma, sobre las heridas y la sanación, sobre la imposibilidad de contar en un mundo en el que nadie quiere escuchar. Sobre la indiferencia que mata y los vínculos que salvan, sobre las ilusiones del recuerdo, sobre ese fenómeno extraño que se llama memoria, que no es la reconstrucción del pasado sino su representación, y que no cuenta la verdad histórica de los hechos sino otra verdad, todavía más real: la de la persona que recuerda. A través del relato de su propia historia, Boris Cyrulnik ayuda a todos aquellos que intentan escapar de un pasado marcado por el dolor. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A lucid analysis of memory and imagination through a true story of self-improvement, but also of trauma, wounds, and healing. Boris Cyrulnik, an eminent psychiatrist, and psychologist, deeply knowledgeable about the mind, lived through a traumatic childhood. Separated from his parents, who were murdered in concentration camps, he lived as a fugitive, hiding in foster homes and orphanages. Like most survivors returning from the camps, and like most people who have experienced traumatic situations during their childhood, Boris Cyrulnik took refuge in silence after the war. Save Yourself, Life Awaits You is a book about trauma, wounds, and healing, about the impossibility of telling where no one wants to listen. About the indifference that kills and the bonds that save, about the illusions of memory, about that strange phenomenon called memory, which is not the reconstruction of the past but its representation, and which does not tell the historical truth of the facts but another truth, even more real: that of the person who remembers. Through the telling of his own story, Boris Cyrulnik helps all those who are trying to escape from a past marked by pain.

"As children grow, some of the terms listed on this book's front cover may be used to describe them on occasion. When there seems to be a recurrent pattern of one or more of these types of behavior, however, something may be wrong. As a parent, if you have noticed something "off" about the way your child has been acting, perhaps it's time to take a closer look at what might actually going on-before it gets worse. What to Do About Your Troubled Child is designed to provide you with the information you need to get to the bottom of the mystery. If a behavioral disorder is caught early enough and treated correctly, it can be greatly lessened or even eliminated. Unfortunately, many behavioral problems in children go undiagnosed for so long that they progress beyond the possibility of improvement. This book is divided into two parts. Part One looks at six of the most common behavioral disorders. Each chapter focuses on one disorder and includes a list of questions intended to determine if your child exhibits enough of the tendencies associated with this disorder to warrant a closer look. It then describes the symptoms and risk factors of the problem, how it may be professionally diagnosed, and traditional means of treatment, which include behavioral therapy and medication. Part Two offers a detailed look at complementary approaches to treatment, such as lifestyle changes, nutrition, and helpful programs and devices. Telling yourself that your child is bound to grow out of certain troublesome behavior may be a way for you to ignore the signs of a serious issue-one that should be addressed. By the time your child reaches adolescence, the disorder may be too far gone. Now is the time for you to understand and do something about it. Now is the time to let What to Do About Your Troubled Child be your guide"--
