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.

The letters of Mary Kimoto Tomita tell the story of a young
American woman of Japanese descent who along with over ten thousand
other Japanese Americans was stranded in Japan during World War II.
After growing up on a small farm in central California and
completing junior college, Mary traveled to Japan in June 1939 to
study the Japanese language and culture and to visit relatives.
When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Mary was on a Japanese
ship bound for the United States; the ship turned around and
returned to Japan, where Mary remained for the next five years.
Mary's letters to her two closest friends, Miye Yamasaki, her
childhood friend in California, and Kay Oka, another young Japanese
American stranded in Japan, chronicle Mary's turbulent life from
her arrival in Japan through her experiences as a civilian employee
of U.S. forces in the first years of the American occupation.
Mary's wartime letters and journal were destroyed in the Tokyo air
raids, but shortly after she returned to the United States in
January 1947, Mary wrote a memoir that reconstructed her wartime
experiences; selections are included here to cover the war years.
