The Reactive Alien 3: Exposing the Functional in Dysfunctionality

Psychologist, Steve Meade's third and final chronicle in his Reactive Alien series, delves further into his theories and insights regarding human reactivity. Possibly the most provocative of his trilogy, Meade's unswerving presentation of the human reactive system as a fully functional juvenile that will not age past two years of age, has been methodically gaining purchase - not to mention a fair share of criticism - while the traditional diagnostic methods he has been challenging in the past two books becomes hotly debated territory in the world of psychology. The Reactive Alien 3 still focusses on the elements of human reactivity, as its predecessors have done, but applies those elements in the greater social contexts presenting today. It's Meade's consideration of the state-of-play in the world of allied health particularly, that should entice the reader to take this last journey with him as he exposes the philosophical schism that will ultimately impact all of us. As always, he invites us to join him in his own professional practice experiences as he applies his theories to the real lives of his clients and their supports, with humorous anecdotes and practical examples from his work as a school psychologist. Honest, unsettling, and accountable, the investment is worth the effort.
