In this age of anxious preoccupation with cozy feelings, the
formidable power of Evil is usually overlooked or trivialized. In
FACING EVIL some of the most penetrating communicators of our time
turn their attention to the dark side of the human psyche. They
speak from the heart about mass murder, racial discrimination, war,
and nastiness both personal and institutional. They explore ways to
confront Evil and perhaps transform it into Good. In the end they
ask: What is to be done?
FACING EVIL contains the proceedings of the famous symposium at
Salado, Texas, subject of the Bill Moyers PBS special, 'Facing
Evil'.
What ever happened to silence? Actually nothing, and Harry Wilmer
takes great pains to show how we have submerged it under a toxic
barrage of noise. Using both clinical examples of the power of
silence from his case histories, and cultural values of silence, he
uncovers an astonishing theme in the Japanese idea of MA as
silence. Wilmer points out how silence gives meaning to words,
dreams, thought, action and music. From his long experience as a
Jungian analyst, he weaves his ideas into an eminently practical
treatise on the phenomenology of silence. With many references to
literature as well as his personal life experiences and crises, he
offers a readable and important new story of the universal and
spiritual significance of silence in a world of jackhammer noise.
Essays on the paradoxes and replections of creativity:
autobiography, literary biography, music, science, drama, poetry,
storytelling, criticism, parageography, and war.
This fascinating collection of autobiographical and biographical
essays examines the many roles of mother and father, both personal
and cultural, in the psychological life and development of the
individual.
Here is the thought of Carl Gustav Jung, the great Swiss
psychologist, applied to the real world of the therapist's office.
Dr. Wilmer explores the Jungian approach in a deceptively light
style, bringing not only his years of experience but his special
wit, wisdom, and skills as an illustrator. Anyone interested in the
process of psychotherapy will gain a new understanding and new
insights, enjoying many a chuckle along the way. Psychotherapy
opens up wounds that, if mishandled, may become worse or may not
heal. It almost goes without saying that any method of treatment
can be misused. The intimacy of psychotherapy and the power
projected upon the therapist make that potential misuse especially
dangerous. This book highlights ways for both patient and therapist
to recognize when the wrong direction has been taken and alerts
them to positive ways of coping with such problems, ways in which
what might have gone wrong is turned into what can be most helpful
in psychological growth. The focus of this book is not traditional
psychopathology, reductive analysis or big interpretations. It is
about what is and what facilities an I-Thou relationship. It is
about ordinary courtesy and human concern without sentimental
shibboleths.
