The Way We Are by Frank W. Putnam
How States of Mind Influence Our Identities, Personality, and Potential
Explores how shifting, context-dependent states of mind—integrating perception, emotion, memory, and behavior—shape identity, personality, and everyday actions. Drawing on neuroscience, developmental research, and clinical practice, it explains how state-dependent learning and dissociation underpin resilience as well as psychological difficulties, particularly following trauma. The book offers practical ways to recognize, regulate, and integrate states to foster change in therapy, relationships, parenting, and leadership. By understanding and harnessing these states, individuals and systems can become more flexible, adaptive, and humane.
