The Myth of Normal Book Description: What do we call “normal” when it comes to health? Or normalize? Is normalization something we invent to prevent something that was previously abnormal from being caught on our radar? In this case, normal means "there is nothing to see here, all systems are working healthily, there is no need for further research." However, when modern psychotherapy is mentioned, Dr. is one of the first names that comes to mind all over the world. For Gabor Maté, this is not the case at all. Maté says that the dominant perception of “normal” is wrong, and that this perception completely ignores trauma and stress, and the impact of modern life on our bodies. For all its expertise and technological advances, Western medicine often fails to treat the whole person; He ignores how today's culture stresses the body, despises emotional balance and puts all the responsibility on the immune system. Gabor Maté, in this book he wrote with his son Daniel Maté; It traces the physiological effects of unmet developmental needs, stress, and trauma, debunks myths about what makes us sick, and connects the dots between individual illnesses and society's declining well-being, resulting in a compassionate guide to health and healing.
