Dr. Keith L. Marshall, PsyD, M.H.D., chronicling his harrowing journey from trauma and addiction to redemption .
Factors of Transformation: Be the Change You Want does not waste one second expressing poetic fluff many self-help books use to solicit readers. Instead, from the onset, Dr. Keith L. Marshall, PsyD, MHD, states point-blank his intention to help you understand the power of your conscious and unconscious thoughts in every dimension of life—be it spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, or social—to provide liberation from negative thinking patterns that yield poor behaviors.
Why wait to make changes in your life when you are not guaranteed to live another day?
Why not be in touch with your mind, body, spirit, and relationships today?
If you have not asked yourself these questions and find you are aimless in your pursuit of purpose, it may be time for you to jump off the proverbial hamster wheel and evaluate your current circumstances using the criteria found within, wherein Dr. Marshall serves a platter with spiritual delicacies to help you savor the idea that your dilemma has nothing to do with who you are on the outside.
It has everything to do with who we are on the inside of these fragile vessels we call “bodies.”
Laden with healthy principles and insights to keep you from becoming your own worst enemy, Factors of Transformation reveals areas needing improvement and sounds the clarion call that it is never too late to change the course of your life, so “stinking thinking” can no longer dominate.

Marshall, PsyD, MHD, holds a Doctor of Clinical Psychology degree from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology; Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Human Development from Pacific Oaks College in Pasadena, CA; a Drug and Alcohol Studies Specialist certificate from Glendale Community College; and has three professional addiction counselor licenses and certifications.
