3. Interview with Naomi Rose, Publisher of Rose Press, by Dave Newhouse of the Oakland Tribune
In which the (now-retired) veteran reporter interviews Naomi Rose about her maiden voyage as a publisher — of Claudio Naranjo, MD’s seminal book, Healing Civilization.
A ROSE IS A ROSE is Naomi Rose, a courageous woman who’s seeking to blossom as a neophyte independent book publisher in the age of the Internet.
“Her first release by Rose Press is Healing Civilization by Claudio Naranjo, which blends perfectly with her plan to publish books that deal with healing.

5. Retired psychotherapist Rahima Warren is interviewed about her process of writing her visionary healing novel, Dark Innocence.

I love deep fantasy novels that explore the truths of the soul, and magical possibilities beyond the screen of ordinary life. In Western rationalism and scientific thinking, truth is found in provable facts. For the human soul, that is a dry fountain.”

Decker, PhD, is the author of The Alchemy of Combat: Transforming Trauma in Combat Veterans: A guide for therapists, as well as family, friends, loved ones, colleagues, and others who care (Suluk Press).
