The volume also includes a comprehensive, annotated bibliography of research on gratitude. This work contributes a great deal to the growing positive psychology initiative and to the scientific investigation of positive human emotions. It will be an invaluable resource for researchers and students in social, personality, and developmental, clinical, and health psychology, as well as to sociologists and cultural anthropologists.

A Greater Psychology: An Introduction to Sri Aurobindo's

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sri Aurobindo / Dalal, A. S. / Wilber, Ken, PUBLISHER: Jeremy P. Tarcher, When it comes to a 'greater psychology' -- one which includes body, mind, soul, and spirit -- Aurobindo has much to teach us, as is clearly and beautifully documented in the book you now hold in your hands. A.S. Dalal has done a superb job in presenting a balanced sampling of Aurobindo's psychological writings. Because of its fair and representativenature, its comprehensive examples, and the clarity of Dalal's own commentary, this book is surely the finest overview of Aurobindo's psychological thought now available, and it will likely remain a classic reference for the foreseeable future. All of those who are deeply interested in a greater psychology -- and what sane soul cannot be? -- will find this book a wonderful companion.

Integrated Ego Psychology: Second Edition

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Polansky, Norman A., PUBLISHER: Aldine, Ego psychology is the aspect of psychoanalytic theory concerned with how people adapt to the demands and possibilities of their worlds in accordance with their inner requirements. All substantial theories of personality refer to adaptation, but there are several features special to ego psychology. It offers by far the most elaborate picture of the adaptive apparatus and of the varied devices humans have for negotiating among their drives and their life situations. More than any other theory of psychology, it emphasizes the complicated transactions that go on in peopleas minds, of which many are outside conscious awareness. Norman A. Polansky argues that we must be disciplined enough to commit ourselves to one consistent line of theory if we are to harness reasoning to go beyond what we can directly observe. Few who are, or aspire to be, caseworkers, therapists or counselors come to this book innocent of all the ideas contained herein. Much will seem familiar from previous training and from experiences with people. Moreover, many Freudian terms have been adopted into the working vocabularies of all educated people. Words like instinctual drive, defense mechanism, anxiety, guilt, conflict, unconscious, and the like, are used all the time in estimating each other. One task of Integrated Ego Psychology is defining such terms with precise meanings, as well as showing the logical connections among them. Psychoanalytic theory has envolved for about a century, and some "grand simplicities" have finally emerged. This book, for practitioners, indicates the need for a theory to guide work if we are to help people effectively. The theory must be elaborate enough to cover a very wide range of human activity and it must meet certain other standards as well.

Astrology Alive: A Guide to Experiential Astrology and the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Schermer, Barbara, PUBLISHER: Crossing Press, We usually associate serious astrology with maps and angles and arcane terminology. Barbara Schermer gives us dance, music, art, and drama...exercises, rituals, meditations, and games. Astrology Alive is an entertaining book, valuable for the seasoned astrologer as well as the novice. It breathes life into the signs and planets by teaching us playful ways to experience their archetypal power. But it's fun with a purpose, helping us to better understand and meet the challenges posed by our own horoscopes. In her work, Schermer acknowledges the debt that experiential astrology owes to the psychology of Cad Jung and the humanistic astrology of Dane Rudhyar. She also makes the case for its ancient connection to Florentine renaissance man Marsilio Ficino, who synthesized philosophy, theology, magic, medicine, music, art, and astrology in his own "proto-psychology."

Cambridge and the Torres Strait: Centenary Essays on the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Herle, Anita / Rouse, Sandra / Anita, Herle, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, Torres Strait has an established place in the history of anthropology because of its association with the Cambridge University Expedition of organised by A. C. Haddon. This early British anthropological expedition is regarded as a seminal event in the formation of academic anthropology in Britain. Its goal was to make an unprecedentedly comprehensive anthropological study embracing ethnology, physical anthropology, psychology, linguistics, sociology and ethnomusicology. The nine interdisciplinary essays in this centenary volume offer ways of looking at and situation the Expedition's work in historical and intellectual debates. Central themes covered are the relationship between the expedition members and the Torres Strait Islanders: the innovations associated with the Expedition and the Expedition's influence on the development of anthropology and psychology. One hundred years on, the results of the Expedition have a contemporary relevance for anthropology and for the Torres Strait Islanders.
