Abraham Maslow (1908-1970) was a leading psychologist whose
hierarchy of needs has resonated throughout various disciplines.
The pinnacle of Maslow's hierarchy was self-actualisation,
characterised by the peak experience. However there are a series of
definitional, theoretical and methodological issues related to the
hierarchy and self-actualisation. Maslow specifically refuted his
own theory, instead suggesting that research should be directed
towards self-transcendence as characterised by the plateau
experience. To date, the plateau experience has remained obscure.
This book explores the problematic nature of self- actualisation
and the relationship between peak experiences and flow, before
progressing to analyse Maslow's composite musings about the plateau
experience. From this, a number of defining characteristics are
identified, which subsequently inform the development of a
psychometric, the Plateau Experience measure (or PLEX). The PLEX
has demonstrated secure psychometric properties and is offered as a
resource to investigate the plateau experience further.
Wing Chun is a pragmatic combat system which retains its fighting
heritage. However this fighting heritage is of questionable origin.
Indeed why did Wing Chun develop? Furthermore although the style
has developed exponentially, what actually motivates practitioners
to train? This is the first academically researched book into Wing
Chun comparing the past and present. The book rewrites the
traditional Wing Chun history, providing a more reasoned and
informative account for the style's development. Central to the
book is the concept of transformation: transformation of the style
from the past to the present, and the transformatory effect of
training on the individual. Specifically the book explores - The
'myth' of the Southern Shaolin Temple - The link between the Triads
and Wing Chun - The identity of the founder of Wing Chun - The
philosophy integral to Wing Chun - The psychological benefits of
training - The differences between Wing Chun practitioners and
other martial artists. The book is written predominantly for an
academic audience, although equally, any reader interested in an
informed discussion of Wing Chun's history, philosophy and
psychology.
