THIS WEBSITE, along with its associated website A Guide to Psychology and its Practice, has grown over the years and now has an enormous amount of information on it. A person could spend hours reading all the various web pages online.

Many persons have therefore asked me to make a book out of these two websites so that they can read everything without having to sit at a computer.

Well, if all of the “pages” of A Guide to Psychology and its Practice or Chastity—In San Francisco? were put into “a book,” each book would be a huge text of several thousand printed pages! I just don’t have the time or the financing to take on such a large task.

Still, I agree with the idea of having some of the information from these websites available in print. Each of my websites will continue to remain available to you and to all, with no advertising; the books make available the option of purchasing the information in convenient printed form.

So, order these books (and CDs and Prayer Cards) for yourself, and order them to give to a friend or relative who does not have Internet access!

Guided Imagery CD for Relaxation and Healing

Almost all—if not all—commercially available psychological relaxation recordings sanction New Age spiritual beliefs that can contradict the Catholic faith. Accordingly, I have made these recordings for a Catholic listener; you will discover in them a relaxing psychological experience that guides you into a healing contemplative trust in God.

TRACK ONE: Guided imagery relaxation & return to waking alertness.
 
TRACK TWO: Guided imagery relaxation that leads you to restful sleep.

Beyond the Veil

Why is this booklet called Beyond the Veil ? Well, all your friends would snicker if they saw you reading a booklet called How to Stop Masturbating. Nevertheless, this booklet is about a veil—the veil of illusion that draws you into temptation, day after day. Armed with the truth herein, you will be able to ask for the strength and courage to persevere through your frustration into confident trust in divine protection. You will learn to seek out the humility of confidence, not the satisfaction of competing with others to make yourself feel stronger. You will learn to admit your wretchedness and seek the grace to love, and to pray for everyone—even your enemies—despite the mistreatment you received from your parents as a child and continue to receive, even now, from others. And you will learn to seek the desire for holy love that will grow in you and overshadow every other desire. Do this and you will not only understand love, you will be living it.

Catholic Compassion

All of us—but especially children and young adults—are tempted today by those who try to convince us to doubt the moral teachings of the Catholic Church. We are induced to look with desire at behaviors that separate us from a holy life, saying to ourselves, “How can there be anything wrong with something that seems so nice?” This booklet, in explaining real Catholic compassion, can help you understand how friends, teachers, professors, the entertainment industry—and even priests—can lead you away from God under the deceptive guise of “being compassionate.”

Breviary & Lectionary Pronunciation Guide

Although other books can be found to assist a reader with the pronunciation of Biblical names, they all have two deficiencies. First, they are all books—that is, they are stiffly bound and relatively thick—and so they can be cumbersome to carry around on a daily basis. In contrast, this booklet can fit neatly in the back of any volume of the Liturgy of the Hours for constant reference. Second, other books are focused on the Lectionary for Mass and therefore neglect many names, such as the names of saints and ancient writers who appear often in the Liturgy of the Hours, especially in the Office of Readings.

Prayer Cards

These cards are individually made with prayerful care. They should be, because I originally made them for my own use. Now I share them with anyone who wants to value them. I print each card in color on my own letterhead quality paper; I trim the card by hand with torn, not cut, edges; finally, I thermally laminate the card with clear protective plastic and then trim it to final size.

Price includes shipping.

Anger and Forgiveness
(Third Edition)

This new Third Edition as an eBook (2010) and as a paperback book (2011) incorporates many additions and changes to the text made since the printing of the Second Edition in 2005.

Most of us carry more anger in our hearts than we are capable of admitting even to ourselves. As a result, we often feel stuck in lives of unfulfilled potential, unending resentments, and physical illness. In this book, Dr. Richmond explains the deep psychological implications of anger and forgiveness and shows how to turn the emotional wounds of daily life into psychological growth.

The e-book is formatted for Kindle devices and Kindle apps for iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, PC, Mac, Blackberry, and Android-based devices.

Healing: Emotional Hurt and Giving the Pain to God

When we are hurt, many of us try to take matters into our own hands—by hiding our pain, by protest, or by plotting revenge. To find genuine healing, however, we must humbly admit our brokenness and give our pain to God by trusting in His perfect justice. There is no healing except through Him who accepted all pain, quietly, peacefully, without grumbling or murmuring—for our sake.
