This self-helf book begins with an entirely different premise compared to the pervasive practices of psychology. Traditionally, therapeutic psychology asks the question: "What is it about my bad brain chemistry, my bad biology, and my bad upbringing that creates the misery in which I am mired?" In contrast, "Changing Your Stripes" begins with an entirely different question, a more productive premise: "What is happening in my relationships with others, and what is my responsibility to be true to those relationships?" Because "Changing Your Stripes" is written from a Social Psychological perspective, it provides an alternative view on the issues of 1) Cause & Effect: The differences between how cause occurs in the physcial versus the behavioral realm); 2) Understanding Who You Are: You are more than the characteristic of your body, the most important aspect of Self is "how you are be-ing" with others; 3) Mental Illness/Disorder: Do you actually "have" a disorder, or are you really just "doing" dis-order; 4) Emotional Scars: How they really manifest, and how one can make them disappear.
