According to psychologist Carl Alasko, blame is such an intrinsic part of how we humans communicate that we rarely take a look at what we're actually doing-and how it can affect our relationships. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this book, Alasko reveals that the need to assign blame when something bad happens stems from a very deep desire we all share to \"see justice done\". Understandable when a grave crime has been committed, but it can become a dangerous habit if we begin to operate as though placing blame were somehow \u003ci\u003enecessary\u003c\/i\u003e if we want to change something or someone in our world. Yet this feeling that \"someone has to pay\" is seldom productive in initiating positive change. In \u003ci\u003eBeyond Blame\u003c\/i\u003e, Alasko teaches readers to recognize destruction that blame causes in their lives-oftentimes without their even being aware-and to put an end to it once and for all. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The path to eliminating blame is not a quick or easy one but, as Carl Alasko demonstrates, it is a road that must be traveled if we hope to achieve true peace in our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarl Alasko, Ph.D.\u003c\/b\u003e has been a practicing psychotherapist specializing in couples and families for over twenty years.
