In "Visits from the Afterlife," Browne journeys even deeper into The Other Side, detailing stirring true encounters, describing visitations with ghosts, in-transition spirits, and other troubled souls seeking peace and closure. She travels to locations as diverse as haunted homes and ships possessed by otherworldly forces. Through these spiritual visits, she explains the reasons behind many of the world's most bizarre and mysterious hauntings, and she shares her own personal, face-to-face experiences with these inexplicable phenomena. From surprising revelations about the spirit world to moving reunions with those who have moved on, Visits from the Afterlife once again illustrates spirits' profound and eternal influence on our earthly lives.

A woman is set up on a blind date with the same man twice, years apart, on two different coasts. A singer?s career changes direction when she walks into the wrong audition. A husband gives his wife an unexpected gift--after she repeatedly dreams about that very same item... It was Carl Jung who coined the term "synchronicity" for those odd coincidences, when events seem to conspire to tell us something, to teach us, to turn our lives around. They are the strange "plot developments" that make us feel like characters in a grand, mysterious story. How do we identify these coincidences as something special? How do we recognize their significance and use them as turning points toward a more meaningful life story? In this book, a Jungian psychotherapist explores the nature and role of synchronicity--teaching us to examine our own stories, and tap into its power to strengthen our work, love, and spiritual lives.

This book identifies the core competencies shared by expert therapists and helps clinicians--especially those providing brief dynamic/interpersonal therapy--to develop and apply them in their own work. Rather than being a cookbook of particular techniques, the book richly describes therapists' mental processes and moment-to-moment actions as they engage in effective therapeutic inquiry and improvise to help patients achieve their goals. The author integrates the psychotherapy and cognitive science literatures to provide a unique understanding of therapist expertise. Featuring many illustrative examples, the book offers fresh insights into how learning and interpersonal skills can be enhanced for both therapist and client.
