Book Reception "The Victim - What the Victim Role Awakens in Us"

Book reception for "The Victim - What the Victim Role Awakens in Us" - a new book exploring our relationship with victims and those seeking recognition as victims. The book examines the dynamics in close relationships, the workplace, and society.\n\nThe author writes from her own experience as a conflict mediator: encounters with the mixture of anger and paralysis that arises when someone has taken on or been assigned a victim role. Why does it become difficult to talk about responsibility? Why do we hold back criticism - even when we find it justified? And why do we stop saying things we would have said in an equal relationship? The book is an attempt to understand what the victim role does to us, and how we can escape the taboo it often creates.\n\nParticipation is free. Registration is required by October 10 - to ensure we have enough chairs, glasses, etc.
