FROME, England
As a concerned citizen of the United Kingdom, author and psychotherapist Patricia Gosling worries about the state of the country. The phone-hacking scandals in the newspaper industry and accusations of police corruption have Gosling wondering what will happen next.
Her new book, "Fatal Flaws: Notes from a Perverse Society" (published by Lulu), presents her thoughts on these and other societal problems and prescribes applicable solutions in a concise manner.
Gosling uses her professional experiences as a psychoanalytical psychotherapist to diagnose the problems she sees plaguing the U.K. She defines these issues as a result of a "perverse society," meaning an associated lack of reality sense, denial of difference and erosion of proper boundaries.
The problems are a result of emotional immaturity, Gosling asserts, which can distort and undermine a person's ability to face real-life issues if not addressed early on in one's development. Gosling traces the origins of the "perverse society" and includes an explanation of how it began.
"Fatal Flaws" imagines a new perspective to help readers understand current conflicts in society. Through her book, Gosling hopes to bring a fresh perspective to these problems and inspire readers to act.
