Ellis Amdur has worked in the field of crisis intervention since 1989. He has developed a range of training and consultation services, as well as a unique style of assessment and psychotherapy. These are based on a combination of phenomenological psychology and the underlying philosophical premises of classical Japanese martial traditions. Ellis’s professional philosophy can best be summed up in this idea: the development of an individual’s integrity and dignity is the paramount virtue. This can only occur when people live courageously, regardless of the circumstances, and take responsibility for their roles in making the changes they desire. Ellis is the author of 17 books including works on martial arts, crisis intervention, de-escalation and fiction. In this interview, we breakdown the themes in his recent book Lost Boy which you can get here: https://geni.us/5lBOIJ Pick up Ellis' fantastic book, Words of Power, here: https://geni.us/BAMP OUR *** BOOK OF THE WEEK: Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss - Get it here! https://geni.us/0g9hxs4 *** Make sure you check out this episode on our website: www.violencepod.com  LISTEN ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/managing-violence-podcast/id1441934641?mt=2&uo=4 LISTEN ON GOOGLE PODCASTS: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy83Y2NlMDAwL3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz Want to check out the bonus content for this episode and others? www.patreon.com/managingviolence Make sure to subscribe and leave us a review so you never miss future content.

My guest on episode 73 is Director of Actions Breaks Silence, Debi Steven. Debi is an experienced martial artist and martial business-woman with a passion for ending gender-based violence. She runs the amazing not-for-profit to equip women and girls with self-protection skills in Africa and India, as well as teaching boys and young men how to develop ”Hero Empathy” and to be an active bystander.

"These girls live in the worst place in the world to be female."   My guest on Episode 72 of the Managing Violence Podcast is Mary Stevens from the UK. Mary began karate in 2003 at the late age of 31. Her son was being bullied so she enrolled him and then took the chance to begin herself. She went on to become obsessed with the study of self-protection (separate from karate) and founded her own dojo, Athena School of Karate. Mary is also a project manager and adviser to FairFight, helping to equip vulnerable young women in Varanasi, India, which we will talk about at length.   Support people doing world-changing work. Thank you Mary!   Check out bonus content from Mary on our Patreon on www.patreon.com/managingviolence
