Ordinary Ecstasy , first published in 1976, is widely regarded as one of the most important books on humanistic psychology. This new edition, completely revised and updated, responds to criticisms made of humanistic psychology since 1976, deals with further ramifications which have emerged, and reflects the different historical and economic situation in which we now live. Above all, John R an shows that humanistic psychology is interested in prrsonal growth, existential choice and the fulfilment of human potential. 'A unique book. It is undoubtedly a milestone in the dissemination of humanistic psychology theory and practice.' - Self and Society 'The riches of humanistic psychology and a wealth of helpful and exciting references make this a treasure of a book.' - Counselling News

Editorial Review:

Person-Centred Counselling in a Nutshell provides a short, accessible guide to one of the most popular approaches to counseling. Based on the ideas of Carl Rogers, the approach's main premise is that clients know themselves better than anyone else. It is the job of the person-centred practitioner to enable the client to discover and utilize their inner resources in order to change and grow.

Using examples drawn from practice, Roger Casemore outlines the main principles of the person-centred approach including the core therapeutic conditions - congruence, unconditional positive regard, and empathy.

Person-Centred Counselling in a Nutshell is ideal first reading for all who are new to learning about counseling.

Editorial Review:

Human memory and cognitive aging have been the subject of intense scientific research during the last decades. Numerous advances have been made in explaining the cognitive processes and the neuropsychological mechanisms underlying human memory, and in outlining age-related changes in them.

This new volume includes an up-to-date collection of chapters written by authoritative researchers in these fields. The chapters were originally presented in a conference held in May 2000 to mark the retirement of Fergus Craik from the University of Toronto. Craik's contributions in these two areas were at the center of the discussions held. These discussions were related to the history and current status of the influential levels of processing approach (Craik & Lockhart, 1972) as an explanatory framework of memory performance and to Craik's self-initiation/environmental support hypothesis of cognitive aging. Behavioral, as well as neuroimaging data, were brought to bear in evaluating these ideas as well as of others which are central to theories of both memory and cognitive aging.

The volume is divided unto four parts, each preceded by introductory comments and followed by a discussion chapter. The first section deals with levels of processing and memory theory, the second addresses working memory and attention, the third deals with cognitive aging, and the last addresses neuroscience perspectives. With the breadth and depth of the topics discussed the volume will be of interest to any student or researcher interested in human memory and cognitive aging.

The Seven Deadly Sins?: Issues in Clinical Practice and Supervision for Humanistic and Integrative Practitioners

Editorial Review:

"The Seven Deadly Sins" grew out of a post-qualification training course of the same name. It aims to make more accessible some concepts from the world of psychoanalysis, self-psychology, and affective neuroscience, as well as commenting on the challenge of working "in the real world." This is achieved by offering an integrative and anecdotal perspective on issues that have been generally un- or under-explored in trainings that have a humanistic emphasis, issues such as envy, shame, love and hate, trauma, addiction, money, and eating disorders. These issues are illustrated through the judicious use of clinical case studies. One case study in particular is referred to in several chapters, including one in depth, to emphasize that the same clinical presentation can be viewed through different lenses. Various "maps" are provided to assist the supervisor and clinician in holding opposing diagnostic models and in working with psychotherapy and counselling trainees.
The book follows a logical path with the first chapter exploring the beginnings of supervision and the supervisory relationship, while the latter chapters look at the issues detailed above, as well as other things such as the reasons for "labels" like the DSM categories. Kearns highlights the need to watch out for dogma and to deconstruct the myths that build up in the different therapies. The chapters can be read in isolation, which makes the book an ideal tool for the supervisor and clinician to use in response to specific issues.

Taking Out the Violence: Shedding Light on the Science & Soul of Human Behavior

Editorial Review:

At a time when the world is reeling from the violence thrust upon it, this volume offers new insights into the answers being sought to the question being universally asked: why such violence and terror should exist? The issues of violence, in particular that done to and by children, and the learning and behavioral difficulties that so often accompany it, are written about in a story telling manner, with the aim of making them easily understood and thereby helping to slow the momentum of a human kind apparently bent on destroying itself.

The serious mismatch between our current beliefs about the causes of these problems and the methods being used to redress them, as measured by their statistically massive failure, quite clearly indicates that we have been missing something very fundamental in these equations. We are rapidly moving into knowledge about the roles of memory and consciousness and their energies in human behavior. Thus the time is right to engage general awareness about how they play relentlessly into every function and dysfunction of body, mind and soul and the belief systems of culture and religion that drive their energies in human thought and behavior and thus, inter-actions with other.

This book is an indispensable and thought-provoking guide for those involved with children, the adults they become and the future of the earth and her inhabitants.
