[close] Escaping from our lives one book at a time.

[close] We are under influence of laws, culture, politics, religion, and so ever changing current of events, but not only. Influences, such as economy of country, strength of currency, amount of money in pockets, healthy lifestyle, history of illnesses, genetic predisposition to illnesses, all of which influence happiness of individuals, groups, and society in any country. There are also instruments of influence, such as peaceful time, quality of food, and other physical needs. Here we talk about social workers' effect of not falling to feel sorry for a client, but rather try to be objective with a client. Books in history, psychology, and politics have many take aways, if to read them objectively. Reality is what objective reality checking can reveal.

[close] The members of Therapist Book Club works together to make the club happen: members recommend books, members vote on what they want to read and members host local chapter meetings and discussions all while engaging in the national conversation. Through monthly book selection and discussions we aim to better ourselves as service providers while learning new techniques and interventions, networking, socializing and learning from our peers.
