LEGAL ABUSE SYNDROME!!!

"Protracted Litigation can be hazardous to your health." If Karin
Huffer had her way, this would appear over every courthouse entrance.


In a fact little noted by judicial practitioners, Huffer makes a case
that the consequences of litigation are wreaking havoc on a society
that takes years to recover. She maintains that while we're trying to
solve one problem, the appropriate relationship of our legal rights and
duties, we're creating a Frankenstein monster.


As Marital and Family Therapist, she has lived stories of heartbreak
hearsay, through her clients, that are so central to life as to be
intermeshed with its main flow. Huffer, who equates pursuit of justice
to a "shotgun wedding" with the judiciary, points out that closure
goes well beyond judgment. Lawyers talk legal determination while
Huffer scans the emotional turmoil germanating from a slow system that
is not only unresponsive to feelings but frequently sends them into an
irrevocable tail spin.


Author of "Legal Abuse Syndrome (LAS)," she includes gripping
accounts, together with treatments she's innovated, to replace
cynicism with trust, anger with coping, and hostility with healthy
reformation of thought. First comes the trespass, either by violence or
deceit, giving rise to a legal case. Then comes LAS, when the system
designed to resolve the dispute dashes any notion of self reliance,
confidence and well being. This is when third parties with varying
interests take over destiny. Just when a victim needs to marshal
wisdom, he is obstructed, such that his mental and physical health
become hostage to ongoing "due process."

Highly recommended reading! Case story..
