Research has shown that nonspecific factors such as relationship
and personality have a stronger correlation to outcome than method.
The basic argument of Through Windows of Opportunity is that
skilled psychotherapists do similar things while describing them
differently, and that psychological healing is created in the
context of relationship. This book presents the work of four
therapists: Peter Levine from the USA (working with with Somatic
Experiencing on trauma states); Jukka Makela from Finland (with
Theraplay, working with disorganized attachment); Haldor Ovreeide
from Norway (with a therapeutic conversation in a disrupted
son-mother dyad); and Eia Asen from the London Marlborough Clinic
(with systemic and mentalization-based family therapy working on a
dependent attachment pattern). The closing chapters of the book
summarize the high points of the discussions among the four
therapists about nonspecific but shared aspects of their
interventions, moderated by the authors.

Reveals how meditation can be used for emotional growth, releasing
trauma, and accessing inner wisdom Drawing on her 25 years of
research into brain development as well as decades of meditation
practice, psychotherapist Marianne Bentzen shows how neuroaffective
meditation--the holistic integration of meditation, neuroscience,
and psychology--can be used for personal growth and conscious
maturation. She also explores how the practice can help address
embedded traumas and allow access to the best perspectives of
growing older while keeping the best psychological attitudes of
being young--a hallmark of wisdom. She explains that there is a
sequence to emotional maturation, just as there is for the
development of cognitive or athletic skills, and details the
central developmental processes of childhood and adolescence and
the adult stages of psychological development. She then explores
the biopsychological effects of meditation on the human brain,
including how it affects us at the autonomic, limbic, and
prefrontal levels. The author shares 16 guided meditations for
neuroaffective brain development (along with links to online
recordings), each designed to gently interact with the deep,
unconscious layers of the brain and help you reconnect to yourself,
your relationships, and the world around. Each meditation explores
a different theme, from breathing in "being in your body" to
feeling love, compassion, and gratitude in "the songs of the heart"
to balancing positive and negative experiences in "mandala." The
author also shares a 5-part meditation centered on breathing
exercises designed to balance your energy. Presenting an authentic,
stepwise approach to spiritual growth, emotional maturation, and
brain development, this guide explains the science behind
neuroaffective meditation and offers detailed practices for a truly
personal and ever-evolving experience of inner wisdom and growth.
'Essence of Mind' outlines the author's approach to Dzogchen, the
natural primordial state of human consciousness that is timeless
and untouched by suffering. He describes different methods for
pointing out the essence of consciousness and the techniques
related to them. Then he outlines key principles of a training
system suited to Western students that can lead to realisation. The
final section outlines the significance of continuous exercises,
and describes the way spiritual practice slowly permeates daily
life.
Contributions from early childhood educators, teachers,
psychologists, music therapists, occupational therapists, and
psychotherapists highlight the crucial role that early
relationships and interactions in group settings play in the
development of children's personal, emotional and social skills.
The book features the latest research and methods for successfully
encouraging the development of these skills in groups of children
aged 4-12. It explores how play within children's groups can be
facilitated in order to foster emotional and empathic capacities,
how to overcome common challenges to inclusion in schools and
introduces practical, creative approaches to cultivating a sense of
unity and team spirit in children's groups.
