In his new book, eminent psychologist - Daniel Stern, author of the
classic The interpersonal world of the infant, explores the
hitherto neglected topic of "vitality" - that is, the force or
power manifested by all living things.
Vitality takes on many dynamic forms and permeates daily life,
psychology, psychotherapy and the arts, yet what is vitality? We
know that it is a manifestation of life, of being alive. We are
very alert to its feel in ourselves and its expression in others.
Life shows itself in so many different forms of vitality. But just
how can we study this phenomenon? Till now, this has been a topic
considered impervious to any kind of scientific study, but
according to the Stern, it is possible to trace vitality to real
physical and mental operations-- including movement, time,
perception of force - as well as spatial aspects of the movement
and its underlying intention. Within this fascinating book he shows
how an understanding of vitality can help the psychotherapeutic
process (including a look at the developmental origins of forms of
vitality) and looks at how these theories of vitality might fit
with our current knowledge of the workings of the brain.
Truly a tour de force from a brilliant clinician and scientist,
Forms of Vitality is a profound and absorbing book - one that will
be essential reading for psychologists, psychotherapists, and those
in the creative arts.
