Doctor, Author Of New Book, Teaches Trial Lawyers Sports Psychology Techniques And Mental Toughness Skills
New York (PRWEB) April 2, 2008 -- Jay P. Granat, Ph.D. author of a new book, Get Into The Zone In Just One Minute and Founder of www.StayInTheZone.com is now providing seminars and coaching to lawyers, to law students, to bar associations, to law firms and to institutes for continuing legal education. Dr. Granat, who has coached many world class athletes is showing members of the legal profession how they can be calm, focused, confident, and in control when they enter a courtroom, a media interview or a challenging negotiation.
Like world class athletes, trial lawyers can benefit from "being in the zone." In the same way that top athletes know how to mentally and physically prepare for a big event, attorneys need to know how to get psychologically ready for the intense pressure and competition that takes place in court rooms around the world every day.
Attorneys, like professional athletes, are always searching for an edge or an advantage when they present their cases and when they need to successful battle their adversaries. In addition, they need to be confident and assertive when they interact with judges.
Some lawyers can get quite anxious when they are faced with an aggressive or unpleasant adversary. Other attorneys have difficulty presenting their cases as effectively as they would like to in front of juries which appear to be hostile or unfriendly.
"Some years ago, a young trial attorney came to talk to me because shewas getting quite anxious when she had to go to court. In a short period of time,he learned how to manage her fears and he actually became quite aggressive in the court room, "says Granat.
After talking to Dr. Granat a few times another litigator remarked, "Do you know how great it feels to be psychologically and legally ready for trial. I know the facts, the law and I feel confident and ready to go now. .It's a super feeling to believe that you can do an outstanding job for your client when the pressure is on."

Granat, a former university professor is from a family of lawyers and judges. In the past, he consulted with many law firms on the psychology of practice development. He was featured in The New York Law Journal, Legal Economics,The National Law Journal and many other prestigious legal publications.

Power, Pleasure, Pain: The Psychology Of S&M
For many years, the concept of being flogged, humiliated, and whipped has long been associated with punishment and suffering. To be demeaned in this manner was unacceptable for most people, creating a social stigma that stands to this day. The stigma is so strong that people who want to go through that sort of treatment willingly were seen as having had their mental health compromised. In some circles, it can also be considered a sign of poor sexual health. However, according to more recent findings, neither mental nor sexual health are compromised by a desire to be bound and dominated. The Sadism and Masochism (S&M) community are not a group of deviants with poor mental health, but simply one that has tastes that vary from the norm.

Tennis psychology is nothing more than understanding the workings of your opponent's mind, and gauging the effect of your own game on his mental viewpoint, and understanding the mental effects resulting from the various external causes on your own mind. You cannot be a successful psychologist of others without first understanding your own mental processes, you must study the effect on yourself of the same happening under different circumstances. You react differently in different moods and under different conditions. You must realize the effect on your game of the resulting irritation, pleasure, confusion, or whatever form your reaction takes. Does it increase your efficiency? If so, strive for it, but never give it to your opponent.
