What if the emotional pain so many of us carry isn't a personal failing -- but a species-wide inheritance? In Naming The Dysfunctions to Heal The Dysfunctions , readers are invited to confront a sobering truth: unloving behaviors like emotional neglect, gaslighting, codependency, and authoritarian control are not rare exceptions -- they are the emotional infrastructure of modern life. Passed down silently from one generation to the next, these patterns shape how we love, how we parent, and how we relate to one another -- often without our awareness. This groundbreaking book names fifteen core patterns of dysfunction that quietly govern our families, relationships, and institutions -- and offers a path out. Through a blend of clinical insight, relatable storytelling, and compassionate guidance, each chapter shines a light on a specific form of emotional injury and the practical tools to begin healing it. But this is more than a book about what's broken. It's a guide to what can be rebuilt. The second half introduces Jesus' Peace and Harmony Behaviors -- not as religious doctrine, but as a species-level antidote to dysfunction . These 13 behaviors, reframed as teachable and observable habits, form the basis of emotional safety and cooperative human development. They are the blueprint for raising emotionally healthy children. Without a new and continual infusion of emotionally healthy children there can be no hope for the survival of our Species. Because healing doesn't happen by accident. It happens by design.
