Founded on August 2, 1976, HCI is celebrating our 50th anniversary!

We’re “those guys in Florida” who first got the attention of the publishing industry with Adult Children of Alcoholics (Janet G. Woititz, Ed.D., 1983), our first New York Times bestseller on the “Advice How-To” list, which remained there for over 40 weeks. Publishers Weekly anointed us the #1 self-help publisher, and our string of other New York Times and national bestsellers, including Healing the Shame that Binds You (John Bradshaw, 1988), cemented our reputation as a pioneer in the recovery and self-help genres.

Our roots in self-help and recovery remain the backbone of our publishing program with bestsellers such as The Betrayal Bond (Patrick Carnes, Ph.D., 2019), a revised edition of Dr. Carnes’ original work we published in 1997. Dr. Ken Adams has a new book, A Light in the Dark (Kenneth Adams, Mary Meyer, Culle Vande Garde, 2023), which is as groundbreaking as his first work, the seminal book Silently Seduced (2011).

But like a healthy tree sustained by strong roots, we also enjoy branching out and offering readers variety in memoir, parenting, pets, yoga, cookbooks, and more.

As you can see, we’ve never rested on our laurels. We are still hard at work doing what we’re passionate about: publishing great authors and changing lives—one book at a time.

Happy Publication Day!

Beyond the difficult, distressing emotion we hide or try to defeat, shame is also a universal, continuous, neurologically-based communications system designed to protect your well-being, guide you to success, warn you of harm, secure your community, and potentially save your life.

Today we commemorate the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865 Major General Gordon Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas at the end of the American Civil War. Today we celebrate the abolition of slavery, educate each other on our shared history, and continue working towards peace and freedom for all.
