Paperback
Author:
Jeffrey A. Kottler
Published by:
Jossey Bass
An updated revision of Jeffrey Kottler's classic book reveals the new realities and inner experiences of therapeutic practice today. For more than 25 years, "On Being a Therapist" has inspired generations of mental health professionals to explore the most private and sacred aspects of their work helping others. In this new edition, he explores many of the challenges that therapists face related to increased technology, surprising research, the Internet, advances in theory and technique, as well as stress in the international and global economy, managed care bureaucracy, patients with anxiety and depression from unemployment, dysfunctional families, poor education, poverty, parenting issues, often court mandated. Consequently, there's a wealth of new information that explores many forbidden subjects that are rarely admitted, much less talked about openly. This book goes deeper than ever before into the inner world of therapist's hopes ...

Symbols of Transformation : An analysis of the prelude to a case of schizophrenia (#5 The Collected Works of C.G. Jung) (2nd edition 1967)

NZ$ 85.00 each
Paperback
Author:
C.G. Jung (tr R F C Hull)
Published by:
Princeton University Press
A complete revision of Psychology of the Unconscious (orig. 1911-12), Jung's first important statement of his independent position.
In 1912, at the age of thirty-seven, Jung published the original version of his work, "Transformation and Symbols of the Libido, " which marked his divulgence from the psychoanalytic school of Freud. It soon became his most widely known and influential work, and it is important in the background of "The Freud/Jung Letters." Because it represented a transitional state in the developement of his theory, Jung long wished to revise it, and in 1952 he published a completely rewritten edition, on which this transformation is based. In its author's words, it is an "extended commmentary on a practical analysis of the prodromal stages of schizophrenia.
Review Quote:
The work is an intellectual tour de force of a very considerable calibre, as witnessed by the quite extraordinary amount of mythological material ...

Doctoring the Mind : Why psychiatric treatments fail
order quantity
NZ$ 33.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Richard P. Bentall
Published by:
Penguin Books Ltd
Why is the Western world's treatment of mental illness so flawed? Who really benefits from psychiatry? And why would a patient in Nigeria have a much greater chance of recovery than one in the UK? In "Doctoring the Mind", leading clinical psychologist Richard Bentall reveals the shocking truths behind the system of mental health care in the West. With a heavy dependence on pills and the profit they bring, psychiatry has been relying on myths and misunderstandings of madness for too long, and builds on methods which can often hinder rather than help the patient. Bentall argues passionately for a new future of mental health, one that considers the patient as an individual and redefines our understanding and treatment of madness for the twenty-first century.

Free from Lies : Discovering Your True Needs
order quantity
NZ$ 35.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Alice Miller
Published by:
WW Norton & Co
An astoundingly moving and perceptive work on how adults can finally overcome the traumas of their childhood, "Free From Lies" is the culmination of a life devoted to healing others. Since "The Drama of the Gifted Child", no one has been more influential than Alice Miller in empowering adults whose lives were maimed emotionally and physically as children. Now she goes further, presenting theories that enhance communication and enable adults to express emotions that have been trapped for years. Practical and perceptive, Miller's work explains what can be expected from therapy, how to identify the causes of pain and why subconscious pain, unaddressed for decades, manifests itself later as depression, self-mutilation, primal inadequacy, and chronic loneliness. "Free from Lies" contains excerpts in which a mother learns how to communicate honestly, as well as a trove of Miller's answers to her thousands of readers.

Why We Lie : The Source of Our Disasters
order quantity
NZ$ 50.00 each
Hardback
Author:
Dorothy Rowe
Published by:
Harper Press
Why do we lie? Because we are frightened of being humiliated, being treated like an object, being rejected, losing control of things, and, most of all, we are frightened of uncertainty. Often we get our lies in before any of these things can happen. We lie to maintain our vanity. We lie when we call our fantasies the truth. Lying is much easier than searching for the truth and accepting it, no matter how inconvenient it is. We lie to others, and, even worse, we lie to ourselves. In both private and public life, we damage ourselves with our lies, and we damage other people. Lies destroy mutual trust, and fragment our sense of who we are. Lies have played a major part in climate change and the global economic crisis. Fearing to change how they live, many people prefer to continue lying rather than acknowledge that we are facing a very uncertain but undoubtedly unpleasant future unless we learn how to prefer the truths of the real world ...

Being Wrong : Adventures in the margin of error
order quantity
NZ$ 35.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Kathryn Schulz
Published by:
Portobello Books Ltd
Being wrong is an inescapable part of being alive. And yet, we go through life tacitly assuming (or loudly insisting) that we are right about nearly everything - from our political beliefs to our private memories, from our grasp of scientific fact to the merits of our favourite team.
Being Wrong
looks at why this conviction has such a powerful grip on us, what happens when this conviction is shaken, and how we interpret the moral, political and psychological significance of being wrong.Drawing on philosophies old and new and cutting-edge neuroscience, Kathryn Schulz offers an eloquent exploration of the allure of certainty and the necessity of fallibility in four main areas: in religion (when the end of the world fails to be nigh); in politics (where were those WMD?); in memory (where did I leave my keys?); and in love (when Mr or Miss Right becomes Mr or Miss Wrong).

The Cow in the Parking Lot : A Zen Approach to Overcoming Anger

NZ$ 35.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Leonard Scheff
Published by:
Workman Publishing
Road rage. Domestic violence. Professionally angry TV and radio commentators. We're a society that is swimming in anger, always about to snap. Leonard Scheff, a trial attorney, once used anger to fuel his court persona, until he came to realize just how poisonous anger is. That and his intense study of Buddhism and meditation changed him. His transformation can be summarized in a simple parable: Imagine you are circling a crowded parking lot when, just as you spot a space, another driver races ahead and takes it. Easy to imagine the rage. But now imagine that instead of another driver, a cow has lumbered into that parking space and settled down. The anger dissolves into bemusement. What really changed? You-your perspective. Using simple Buddhist principles and applying them in a way that is easy for non-Buddhists to understand and put into practice, Scheff has created an interactive book that helps readers change perspective, step by ...

The Invisible Gorilla and Other Ways Our Intuition Deceives Us

Paperback
Author:
Christopher Chabris & Daniel Simons
Published by:
harper collins
Insightful, witty, and fascinating, The Invisible Gorilla closely examines the false impressions that most profoundly influence our lives and gives practical advice on how we can minimize their negative impact.
If a gorilla walked out into the middle of a basketball pitch, you'd notice it. Wouldn't you? If a serious violent crime took place just next to you, you'd remember it, right? The Invisible Gorilla is a fascinating look at the unbelievable, yet routine tricks that your brain plays on you. In an award-winning and groundbreaking study, psychologists Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons asked volunteers to watch a 60-second film of a group of students playing basketball and told them to count the number of passes made. About halfway through, a woman dressed head to toe in a gorilla outfit slowly moved to centre screen, beat her chest at the camera, and casually strolled away. Unbelievably, almost half of the volunteers missed ...

R.D. Laing

First published in 1960, this watershed work aimed to make madness comprehensible, and in doing so revolutionized the way we perceive mental illness. Using case studies of patients he had worked with, psychiatrist R. D. Laing argued that psychosis is not a medical condition but an outcome of the 'divided self', or the tension between the two personas within us: one our authentic, private identity, and the other the false, 'sane' self that we present to the world.
