Socialcide™: How America is Loving Itself to Death
wakes up America - CBM
New Jersey, USA - Leo J. Battenhausen, with over 22
years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, has many talents: Licensed as
Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor, Certified Relationship Specialist,
Certified School Social Worker and an Employee Assistance Program Director in
New Jersey and author of Defeating Depression: The Calm and Sense Way to
Find Happiness and Satisfaction and Socialcide: How America is Loving
Itself to Death, Battenhausen is well qualified to present America’s
inner-workings from a social, psychosomatic and spiritual perspective.
This fascinating presentation sheds light on America’s
decline as a nation under God to a godless nation. With soft heart and great concern for the youth of our country,
Battenhausen gives understanding to the plight of our nation – making sense of a
complicated array of reasons that offer firm analysis from many years as a
clinical social worker. From immense moral
decline to murders in our society, Battenhausen explains there are reasons why
our country has taken such a “nosedive” spiritually and morally. The facts support his analysis: the family
unit and God have slowly dropped from the radar. This lack of family and God in our values, beliefs and actions
has caused a fall in society as the new “millennials” (kids born between 1980
and 1995) experience less and less of God.
Coupled with a lack of parenting skills, the downfall of families,
divorce, etc., the author also gives understanding to the spiritual realm. This is a must-read for those that have ever
wondered, “What has gone wrong with our country?” And for those that “think” everything is okay, this book will be
an eye-opener.
Yet, there is hope….an antidote, return to God before its
too late. Informative, insightful, this
book is worth the read!

Battenhausen. Socialcide: How America Is Loving Itself to Death is available at

Socialcide™: Searing New Book Exposes Nation’s Rotting Social Fabric, Proving Americans Are Literally “Loving Themselves to Death”.
In
his ground-breaking and controversial upcoming book, ‘Socialcide: How America
is Loving Itself to Death’, Leo J. Battenhausen shows the other side of the
American Dream – one where individuals are so obsessed with themselves that
emotional and social problems have taken on a destructive new aggression. By
exposing the problem through a unique fusion of social and psychological
observations, Battenhausen hopes that citizens will stop committing
‘Socialcide’ and rebuild themselves into a race that is a model for global
dignity and respect.
For Immediate Release
Roselle Park, NJ – There’s no way to sugar-coat the conclusions of
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Leo J. Battenhausen; Americans have become so
obsessed with themselves that their country’s once-great bedrock of dignity and
respect is crumbling from underneath them. Childhood social problems prevail at
record levels, crime is becoming more heinous and the average American is now
just a deranged sociopathic shadow of their former self.
Battenhausen calls this shift ‘Socialcide’. In
his new book, ‘Socialcide: How America is Loving Itself to Death’, he presents
this fatal problem in its true light, while urging all Americans to change and
make their nation great once again.
Synopsis:
What happens to a society when common
courtesy, values, morals and kindness are not merely disregarded, but
considered old-fashioned and outdated? Why are more and more children being
diagnosed with social and emotional disorders today than ever before in
history? When has true face-to-face communication become unwanted and obsolete?
Where has America's sense of decency and honor gone over the past 35 years? Why
do we find humor and entertainment at the expense of others' dignity and
innocence?
The words "narcissism;
"sociopath" and "psychopath" are thrown around on
television daily in describing those responsible for heinous acts of school
shootings, murder, rape and child abuse. 'Narcissist" is currently one of
the most searched words on the World Wide Web. Meanwhile, the field of
Psychology wants to eliminate "Narcissistic Personality Disorder"
from its references. When children are becoming less willing to leam, work or
take responsibility for their actions, and parents are "too busy" to
enforce morals and consequences when raising their children, we have a social
problem. Socialcide is destroying families, marriages and true love. The media
manipulates us, technology corrupts us, and spiritual warfare remains
undetected to the naked eye because of it. America is Loving Itself to Death
and Socialcide explains why.
“The
truth is that, if America continues to ignore the evil behaviors of so many, we
risk losing everything that brought us together in the first place,” explains
Battenhausen. “We urgently need to return to a culture of dignity and respect,
while being aware that the technology apparently taking us into the future is
actually causing us to regress.”
Continuing,
“It’s also time that we regained our confidence in spirituality and the
existence of a higher power. It appears that we can’t just look after
ourselves.”
Early
reviews for the book have been extremely positive. New York Times bestselling
author, Shanna Hogan, comments, “In Socialcide author Leo J. Battenhausen has
put together a compelling examination of the American epidemic of extreme
narcissism that has invaded society. Battenhausen's engrossing account of this
dangerous trend is thought-provoking and paints a scary picture of the impact
of the trend. How dangerous is America's obsession with self-absorption?
Perhaps "selfies" are just the latest example of how full of one's
self one can get."
Dr.
Edward M. Merski adds, “A relevant and realistic connection between the fields
of psychology and theology. Some personalities fall short of scientific
explanation or reason. Battenhausen combines the spiritual and psychological to
effectively explain America's growing love of self, its dangers and where it
has come from.”
