Social worker and author, Leo J. Battenhausen is pleased to announce the release of his new book, Socialcide: How America Is Loving Itself to Death. This new psycho-spiritual work exposes the nation's rotting social fabric, proving what the author believes that Americans are literally "Loving Themselves to Death."
What happens to a society when common courtesy, values, morals and kindness are not merely disregarded, but considered old-fashioned and outdated? Why are more and more children being diagnosed with social and emotional disorders today than ever before in history? When has true face-to-face communication become unwanted and obsolete? Where has America's sense of decency and honor gone over the past 35 years? Why do we find humor and entertainment at the expense of others' dignity and innocence?
The words "narcissism," "sociopath" and "psychopath" are thrown around on television daily in describing those responsible for heinous acts of school shootings, murder, rape and child abuse. "Narcissist' is currently one of the most searched words on the World Wide Web. Meanwhile, the field of Psychology wants to eliminate "Narcissistic Personality Disorder" from its references. When children are becoming less willing to learn, work or take responsibility for their actions, and parents are "too busy" to enforce morals and consequences when raising their children, it creates a social problem. Socialcide is destroying families, marriages and true love. The author says, "The media manipulates us, technology corrupts us, and spiritual warfare remains undetected to the naked eye because of it. America is Loving Itself to Death and Socialcide explains why."
Socialcide is available at most online retailers and at bookshops nationwide.
