Each and every one of us grapples with our own highly personal
mythology-the psychic force that allows us to weave the fragments
of our experience into coherent story. These mythologies shape our
every thought, perception, and action, helping us to feel safe and
secure in our identities. But when our personal mythologies do not
grow and change along with us, we find ourselves stuck in
self-defeating life patterns.In Personal Mythology, David
Feinstein, Ph.D., and Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., hailed by Jean
Houston as masters of the geography of the inscapes, provide a
series of detailed exercises developed over a combined 80 years of
clinical practice, personal development workshops, and teaching on
psychological topics. Using ritual, dreams, and imagination to
liberate you from the mythologies of your childhood and culture,
the 12-week course will ignite the mystery of a transformed inner
life into authentic outer expression. This third edition of a
life-changing classic has been revised to include a new Support
Guide combining their ground-breaking model for incorporating
Energy Psychology into the process of personal transformation.
A literary collection on dissociation, Broken Images, Broken Selves offers a unique approach to the understanding of the condition known as dissociative and of the rich and deeply meaningful narratives that emerge from it. This book is filled with personal accounts by individuals whose lives may be fragmented by this condition. These stories demonstrate how this phenomenon can be dysfunctional or functional, depending on the cultural setting. The book is divided into three parts. In the first section, contributors consider dissociative experience against a backdrop of cross-cultural interpretation. They explore the causes of the disorders and explain instances of dissociative or other human experiences. Secondly, the authors explore definitions and descriptions of specific exceptional human phenomena. The broad concept of dissociation is discussed with numerous examples of narrative material. Each story recognizes the conditions in which the narrator lives and the complexity of his or her experiences. The third and final part examines issues brought up in the first two sections of the book, including the variety of dissociative experiences and implications for understanding and treating these patients. Exploring issues such as repressed memory, extraterrestrial abduction accounts, and near-death experience stories, this user-friendly book can be enjoyed by the clinician as well as the lay person. Practical and provocative, it serves as a guide for those who want a deeper look into the human psyche and a more encompassing vision of the less predictable aspects of the mind.

The history of humankind cannot be charted as a steady linear
upward slope but rather as a series of quantum jumps of short
duration separated by plateaus of varying duration during which no
progress occurred. During these periods of no progress, the
revolutionaries who produced the preceding quantum jump pass from
the scene, their principles and concepts become concretized as
dogma, and a new establishment is born whose sacred duty is the
protection of the dogma against the new revolutionaries. The last
quantum jump was the scientific revolution of the nineteenth
century which laid the groundwork for our present technological
civilization, and perhaps more important, also shaped our
philosophical view of what is a human being. Since the basis of
this scientific revolution was reason, logic, measurement, and
total reliance upon the organized senses, the resultant view of the
person is that of an automaton, functioning in a clockwork world.
The power of this view is evident in the advances made in medical
science up until the 1950s. The twin triumphs of sanitation and
preventive medicine and the develop ment of the antibiotic concept
completely revolutionized the practice of medicine, and by 1950
those of us in the profession were anticipating a new golden age of
medicine. But, in fact, the reality has been disaster. The
mechanistic view of humanity has led to more and more technologi
cal applications of ever increasing complexity and cost and ever de
creasing efficiency."
Montague Ullman The second volume of this series includes essays on
methods and issues in ESP research (Morris), research findings in
ESP (Palmer), and theories of psi (Rao). It thus complements the
areas covered in Volume 1, the two volumes taken together providing
the reader with a sound grounding in the progress and achievements
of parapsychological research from its inception to the present
day. What is immediately striking is the rapid increase in the
amount and variety of experimental reports appearing in the last
decade and the increasing number of centers in which research is
being carried out. Work in parapsychology is moving toward a
broader disciplinary base, the use of more imaginative technology,
greater academic support, and more activity on an international
scale. These are promising signs of a rapprochement between
parapsychological research and the mainstream of science. Robert O.
Becker, in his preface to Volume 1, holds out the hope that
parapsychology will lead the way to a new view of the biological or
ganism, one going beyond mechanism to "a new vision of the human
being and his place in the universe" (Becker, 1977). Heavy as this
respon sibility may be, a careful reading of the present volume
should persuade the reader that a new view is very much in order."
What is consciousness? Conventional thinking tells us it is the
images, sensations, thoughts, and feelings produced by the brain.
When the neurons in the brain stop firing, consciousness ceases to
be. But does it?
Practiced in community centers and psychiatric hospitals throughout
Brazil, Spiritist therapies are gaining increasing recognition
internationally for their ability to complement conventional
medicine. This pioneering text is the first comprehensive account
of the philosophy, theory, practical applications and wider
relevance of Spiritist therapies to be published in the English
language. Leading practitioners and researchers in the field
describe the history, principles and diagnostic processes of the
Spiritist approach to mental health, and provide an extensive
summary of the various methodologies used, including spiritual
mediumship, energy work, prayer, homeopathy, past life regression
and the practice of integrating spirituality into counselling and
psychotherapy. Considering the ways in which Spiritism aligns with
contemporary science, they show that the Spiritist model has the
potential to bring about a positive transformation in the ways in
which mental health care is conceptualized and delivered around the
globe. The final part of the book explores how Spiritist centers
and psychiatric hospitals are established and financed, with
specific examples from Brazil and the USA. Providing important new
insights into the rich tradition of Brazilian Spiritism, this
authoritative text will be of interest to mental health
professionals, counselors, therapists and alternative and
complementary health practitioners.

*Contains never-before-released talks by Rolling Thunder preserved
by the Grateful Dead's Mickey Hart as well as accounts of
remarkable healings and weather magic from famous personalities who
knew him*Explains that in order to heal Nature's afflictions we
must first restore balance and unity in ourselvesCherokee-Shoshone
medicine man Rolling Thunder (19161997) was a healer, teacher,
visionary and activist who rose to popularity in the 1960s and '70s
through his friendship with artists such as Bob Dylan and as the
inspiration for the Billy Jack films. Eyewitness accounts of his
remarkable healings are legion, as are those of his ability to call
forth the forces of nature, typically in the form of thunder
clouds. Yet it was his equally uncommon gift as a prophet and
living representative of Native American wisdom that truly set him
apart from other spiritual teachers of that era. Thirty years
before most people had ever heard of global warming, Rolling
Thunder described in graphic detail the signs of encroaching
planetary doom and campaigned for environmental harmony. The key to
healing nature's afflictions, he maintained, is to first restore
balance and unity in ourselves. Containing never-before-released
talks preserved by the Grateful Dead's Mickey Hart, this book
shares the teachings of Rolling Thunder in his own words and
through inspiring interviews with psychologist Alberto Villoldo and
other famous personalities who knew him. Collected and edited by
his grandson, Sidian Morning Star Jones and longtime friend,
Stanley Krippner, this book allows you to incorporate Rolling
Thunder's wisdom into your own life.

Consciousness and Transformation. We are publishing again, after a
hiatus. Led by a new editorial board, ReVision publishes with a
commitment to the future of humanity and the Earth, ReVision
emphasizes the transformative dimensions of current and traditional
thought and practice. ReVision advances inquiry and reflection
especially focused on the fields presently identified as
philosophy, religion, psychology, social theory, science,
anthropology, education, organizational transformation, and the
arts. We seek to explore new models of transdisciplinary,
interdisciplinary, multicultural, dialogical, and socially engaged
inquiry, frontier science, as well as ancient ways of knowing, and
to bring such work to bear on what appear to be the fundamental
issues of our times through a variety of written and artistic
modalities. In the interests of renewal and fresh vision, we strive
to engage in conversation a diversity of perspectives and
discourses which have often been kept separate, including those
identified with terms such as Western and Eastern; indigenous and
nonindigenous; Northern and Southern; feminine and masculine;
intellectual, practical, and spiritual; local and global; young and
old.
A colorful and compelling examination of evidence for the mind's
ability to heal, taking a step into the fascinating world of
psychic healing and shamanism. 80 black-and-white photographs.
Integrated Care for the Traumatized puts forth a model for the
future of behavioral health focused on health care integration and
the importance of the Whole Person Approach (WPA) in guiding the
integration. This book fills a void applying the WPA integration to
the traumatized that enables the reader to learn from experienced
trauma practitioners on how to assess and treat trauma as humanely
and compassionately as possible. This approach of expanding the
possibilities of behavioral health by centering upon the whole
person is an old idea that is emerging as a modern solution to over
specialized practices. Among other things this WPA approach,
completed with spirituality, psychology, medicine, social work, and
psychiatry, helps traumatized and their families function in the
social environment. The book has four sections: Foundations,
Interventions for Individuals, Interventions for Communities, and
Future of Integrative Care for the Traumatized. Each chapter
discusses the importance of working within an integrative and WP
approach, with descriptions of integrative models, research
evidence and applications that are already working. These chapters
can help students, families, and seasoned professionals to improve
upon and expand their practice with the traumatized in both the
individual and community contexts.
An introduction to the scientific study of psychics and
mediums—those who are frauds, those who are psychotic, and those
whose claims seem to defy easy dismissal. Welcome to the world of
Mysterious Minds: The Neurobiology of Psychics, Mediums, and Other
Extraordinary People. Here, experts in the emerging field of
neurobiological study make the case that while many claims of
psychic ability are easily proven false, there may well be
claimants who can obtain information in ways not easily explained
by mainstream science—and there might be scientific tools and
approaches available to confirm those experiences. Written by an
expert team of distinguished investigators from a half dozen
countries around the world, Mysterious Minds introduces readers to
the current state of research into parapsychological experiences,
emphasizing the neurobiological data obtained by those who claim to
be psychics or mediums. It offers specific examples of paranormal
claims of extraordinary people—claims scrutinized through the use
of high-tech brain imaging, clinical neurological examinations, and
psychotropic drugs. The book concludes by proposing a series of
models based on fundamental neurobiology, psychology, and quantum
physics that could help us unravel these mental mysteries.
The first of its kind, this guidebook provides an overview of
clinical holistic interventions for mental-health practitioners.
Submissions from 21 contributors examine the validity of different
methods and provide information on credentialed training and
licensure requirements necessary for legal and ethical practice.
Chapters covering a range of healing modalities describe the
populations and disorders for which the intervention is most
effective, as well as the risks involved, and present research on
the effectiveness of treatment, with step-by-step sample clinical
sessions.
