I am a writer who is publishing a new book this month and I suggest it is newsworthy in that it connects with and explains the hidden sources of the societal malaise which you see around you. The book is difficult to accept in places because it confronts embarrassing issues, but if you have an open mind you will be able to accept that the author has a valid point to make, which confronts the hidden springs of certain irrational behaviours you see on television screens and around you. The following is the press release being issued in America this week.

THE VOICE OF THE VOICELESS
Author Seeks to Liberate Humankind from Damaging Mother-Infant and Societal Relationships
NORTH YORKSHIRE, England - In his new book, “THE VOICE OF THE VOICELESS: The Universal Infant Talks Back to the Mothers of This Civilisation” (now available through AuthorHouse), Peter Newman explains why he believes that the ties that bind mother and child in today’s society are destroying the human race.
In a contemporary civilisation that “can find nothing new to say or do,” Newman challenges the “fake debates” that rage between opposing camps today. “At last here is a book that offers to break through the impasse by entering forbidden territory (and) tackling the ultimate taboo.”
THE VOICE OF THE VOICELESS explores disturbing issues as Newman questions the validity of the mother-infant relationship as it is presently constituted, first connecting his own oppressed childhood in mid 20th century Ireland to global societal and familial maladies. His key tenet is based on the work of Dr Immanuel Velikovsky, who caused an uproar in the 1950s with his book, “Worlds in Collision.”
Newman pays tribute to Velikovsky’s work and further pushes the envelope with the ideas set forth in his book. He argues that the human race exists in a state of collective amnesia, and that the emotional trauma experienced at some point in history was so severe that the mind cannot contemplate the horror and buries its true significance under religious allegories and guilt-infused mother-infant relationships.
Writing with forcefulness and conviction, he delivers a message that is disconcerting and challenging. From short-sighted legislation to grassroots efforts that, according to Newman, only serve to manage problems, not heal an afflicted race, THE VOICE OF THE VOICELESS takes a stand against complacency in the face of societal deterioration.
“The reader will either put this volume aside and return to the mundane practicalities and compromises of everyday living, or else the reader will feel compelled to embark on a quest of enquiry and reflection to determine whether the civilisation we were born into really has any validity at all,” he writes. “There is no middle ground. This book is about a choice between healing or management - all or nothing.”
Newman was born in Dublin in 1948. He writes that his Irish Catholic mother crushed him so completely that his emotional development was arrested at the age of two, although his intellect eventually matured. He claims to remember his firsthand experiences with the psychodynamics of the mother-infant relationship, and on that basis, posits that he is “in a unique position to contribute to the healing of our civilisation.” THE VOICE OF THE VOICELESS, his first book, seeks to deliver an important message, which Newman strongly believes: “God exists and life has meaning, although they may not be the God and the meaning we expected to find.”
