The Story Has a Secret Robert D Brehm

This new therapeutic autobiography by Robert D. Brehm, MA, begins with a jolt. Robert is a child when his mother gets into a car accident. Robert goes flying out the window of her 1942 Ford. His strongest memory from the accident is when he shouted to someone who picked him up out of the road ditch. "Man, don't you ever do that again."

Now, Robert knows that was an attribution error-an error in perception that assigns blame to another. As Robert discusses the accident, he delves deeper into the concept of attribution errors and role-plays the scenario by using the empty chair technique.

This is just one example of how Robert uses his background in psychology to examine important moments from his life. He has spent forty-five years teaching and delving into the human psyche. This training has allowed him to look at earlier events with a practiced eye.

As Robert moves from that first formative experience to his later life as a teacher and counselor, he introduces other important psychological concepts. Part memoir and part psychology guide, The Story Has a Secret shows you how to apply the same perspective to your own life and examine the moments that forever changed it.
