Second Edition of \u201cQuerida Martha\u201d Coming Soon<\/STRONG> T<\/SPAN>he second edition of \u201cQuerida Martha\u201d (Dear Martha) will be out on Tuesday July 28th and available at the Eduardo Le\u00f3n Jimenes Cultural Center in Santiago. In this expanded edition, psychotherapist and educator, Martha Beato, includes new letters in addition to the 150 that make up the first edition.<\/P> Ms. Beato has included letters on such current topics as video game addiction, online relationships, cancer management, labor relations, and personal relationships, among other things. <\/P> Another new feature of this edition is a prologue by Karina Rieke, Director General of the International Book Fair of Dominican Writers in New York. Ms. Rieke is also a mental health consultant, poet and essayist. \u201cIn Martha Beato\u2019s book, there is a constant questioning of life and its vicissitudes to which she responds from an objective perspective.\u201d<\/P> \u201cHer book represents universal themes and responses that are void of gender or social references or differences, and whose sole intention is to make men and women look each other in the eye with tenderness and, in the process, become better human beings despite their life\u2019s pains and frustrations,\u201d writes Ms. Rieke.<\/P> Martha Beato said, \u201cthere has been a lot of interest in reading this book, the first edition of which was sold out. So we decided to do a second, more expanded edition with seven cases that reflect current situations and end with an endearing letter from my sister Lourdes de Mena, which I wanted to share with my readers.\u201d<\/P> After launching the book last August 2014, Ms. Beato gave a series of conferences with the same name as the book and made a TV show that will air in the coming months. <\/P> The letters in \u201cQuerida Martha\u201d were written by readers of List\u00edn Diario newspaper in the Dominican Republic and El Universo de Ecuador, of Ecuador, in the \u201cPsychology Column.\u201d As a result, the column became a guide for people who were unable or afraid to visit a psychologist. <\/P> The different situations in the book are familiar to most everyone and the recommendations offered can be useful not just for the person who wrote the letter, but to those in similar situations, helping them find realistic solutions in their pursuit of well-being. <\/P>In \u201cQuerida Martha,\u201d the professional of human behavior spontaneously shares the experiences she has accumulated throughout her 30-plus years as a counselor <\/P> Photos:<\/STRONG>
