In Beyond Therapy, Erving Polster examines the role of "life focus"
in three of society's most familiar activities: ordinary
conversation, the arts, and religion. He shows the life focus
movement to be an indivisible complement to just simply living. In
proposing a paradigm shift from psychotherapy's priority for
changing people's troubled lives into the complementary purpose of
illuminating their lives, the author invites the participation of
many people who do not seek remedial treatment for emotional or
psychological problems. Polster incorporates a broader scenario for
enhancing attention through community groups, showing that the
convergence of people's minds on commonly important life themes
creates enlightenment. This interlocked focus amplifies the ensuing
conversational content and creates a meditation-like absorption.
This kind of pointed focus, argues Polster, has the power to colour
the lives of the participants. This work offers rationale and
design for life focus community groups, and also creates a
heightened identity for the life focus movement, providing other
foundational ideas that help to unify diverse approaches. Mental
health professionals will benefit from its wealth of specific
exercises and instructions for program design. Polster provides
leaders and group members with a well-rounded perspective on the
basics of personal enlightenment and communal belonging.
