Shame and shame reactions are two of the most delicate and
difficult issues of psychotherapy and are among the most likely to
defy our usual dynamic, systemic, and behavioral theories. In this
groundbreaking new collection, The Voice of Shame, thirteen
distinguished authors show how use of the Gestalt model of self and
relationship can clarify the dynamics of shame and lead us to fresh
approaches and methods in this challenging terrain. This model
shows how shame issues become pivotal in therapeutic and other
relationships and how healing shame is the key to transformational
change. The contributors show how new perspectives on shame gained
in no particular area transfer and generalize to other areas and
settings. In so doing, they transform our fundamental understanding
of psychotherapy itself. Grounded in the most recent research on
the dynamics and experience of shame, this book is a practical
guide for all psychotherapists, psychologists, clinicians, and
others interested in self, psychotherapy, and relationship. This
book contains powerful new insights for the therapist on a
full-range of topics from intimacy in couples to fathering to
politics to child development to gender issues to negative
therapeutic reactions. Filled with anecdotes and case examples as
well as practical strategies, The Voice of Shame will transform
your ideas about the role of shame in relationships - and about the
potential of the Gestalt model to clarify and contextualize other
approaches.

This volume represents a cross section of research on how
communities in forested areas develop and change. It focuses on the
need to define forestry and community, and to show how natural
resources sociology can be used to study the linkage between
forestry and community. .
Volume II in the Evolution of Gestalt series, Relational Child,
Relational Brain continues the development of the paradigm shift
that places human development in a field that is deeply complex and
fundamentally one of interconnection, taking us away from the
limiting view of us as separate individuals. It builds on the
foundation of contemporary views of relational neurodevelopment and
the profound influence of relationship on brain growth. It shows
how, particularly in the first two years of life, but continuing
across the whole of childhood and adolescence into early adulthood,
the relational field is the context of child development. The focus
then broadens out to examine the intersubjective influence of
community, culture, and social and physical support. Backed by
neurobiological and related research, it offers many examples of
relational Gestalt practice with children, adolescents, and their
families, with stories of loss, trauma, isolation, and other
adversities. Not just an invaluable resource for child and
adolescent therapists, Relational Child, Relational Brain goes
beyond the Esalen Study Conference from which it emerged and is a
further invitation and challenge to apply relational Gestalt
practice as a coherent and effective way forward in the troubled
world of today.
The contributors consider how social science perspectives can
contribute to our understanding of communities and their
conflicting choices regarding the allocation and use of forest,
agriculture and other natural resources. The topics discussed
include community stability, community adjustment to economic and
technological change and the public's
In The Secret Language of Intimacy, shame and its consequences are
foregrounded as a major, if not the major, impediment to the
healthy functioning in the relationships of couples. In the first
part of the book, Robert Lee presents the "Secret Language of
Intimacy Workshop," developed and presented for the first time at
the 1998 Annual Conference of the Association for the Advancement
of Gestalt Therapy. Lee not only describes how the hidden forces of
shame and belonging regulate couple dynamics, but also how the
workshop itself has facilitated the acceptance of these forces and
promoted therapeutic resolution, utilizing clinical vignettes. The
second half of the book is comprised of internationally contributed
essays from leading names in the Gestalt perspective, each adding
to and redefining the role of shame and belonging in the theory and
practice of Gestalt couples therapy. Their conclusions, however,
are just as insightful for purveyors of other psychoanalytic and
psychodynamic therapies as well.

While public debates over America's current foreign policy often
treat American empire as a new phenomenon, this lively collection
of essays offers a pointed reminder that visions of national and
imperial greatness were a cornerstone of the new country when it
was founded. In fact, notions of empire have long framed debates
over western expansion, Indian removal, African slavery, Asian
immigration, and global economic dominance, and they persist today
despite the proliferation of anti-imperialist rhetoric. In fifteen
essays, distinguished historians examine the central role of empire
in American race relations, nationalism, and foreign policy from
the founding of the United States to the twenty-first century. The
essays trace the global expansion of American merchant capital, the
rise of an evangelical Christian mission movement, the
dispossession and historical erasure of indigenous peoples, the
birth of new identities, and the continuous struggles over the
place of darker-skinned peoples in a settler society that still
fundamentally imagines itself as white. Full of transnational
connections and cross-pollinations, of people appearing in
unexpected places, the essays are also stories of people being put,
quite literally, in their place by the bitter struggles over the
boundaries of race and nation. Collectively, these essays
demonstrate that the seemingly contradictory processes of boundary
crossing and boundary making are and always have been intertwined.
Recent research on the syntax of signed languages has revealed
that, apart from some modality-specific differences, signed
languages are organized according to the same underlying principles
as spoken languages. This book addresses the organization and
distribution of functional categories in American Sign Language
(ASL), focusing on tense, agreement, and wh-constructions.Signed
languages provide illuminating evidence about functional
projections of a kind unavailable in the study of spoken languages.
Along with manual signing, crucial information is expressed by
specific movements of the face and upper body. The authors argue
that such nonmanual markings are often direct expressions of
abstract syntactic features. The distribution and intensity of
these markings provide information about the location of functional
heads and the boundaries of functional projections. The authors
show how evidence from ASL is useful for evaluating a number of
recent theoretical proposals on, among other things, the status of
syntactic agreement projections and constraints on phrase structure
and the directionality of movement.
