Le couple, lieu de croissance

Autor: Claude Mailloux

Número de Páginas: 172

" La relation fructueuse entre un homme et une femme est celle qui permet de reconnaître, dans cette relation [...] les impasses et d'en sortir constamment dans la reconnaissance réciproque d'un couple ordonné par, dans et à l'unité de la vie. [...] Vivre avec, c'est naître, guérir et ressusciter. Il n'y a pas un état qui serait "normal" pour le couple. " (D. Vasse, La vie et les vivants, Paris, Seuil, 2001, p. 122) Ces quelques mots de Denis Vasse résument à la fois le désir de celles et ceux qui veulent vivre à deux, et l'impasse toujours présente dans le couple. Au moment même où l'on aspire intensément à une vie de couple harmonieuse, à une relation qui, comme le ferment, fasse lever toute la pâte, les statistiques sociales montrent que de plus en plus de couples n'arrivent pas à vivre leur relation dans un minimum d'harmonie et de bonheur. Ils s'enlisent, au contraire, dans des impasses relationnelles. Dans ces voies sans issues, la vie de couple devient une contrainte supplémentaire pour l'un ou l'autre des partenaires, sinon pour les deux en même temps, qui les enferme dans les stigmates du passé hérités de l'enfance, dans la projection idéale ou...

Legendary Locals of Peoria

Autor: Greg Wahl

Número de Páginas: 128

Peoria harkens back to the 1670s glory days of the French voyageurs and became the now-familiar face of Americana--its townsfolk have touched every aspect of national and international life, often significantly. In comedy, Fibber McGee and Molly, Charles Correll, Richard Pryor, Sam Kinison, and even Bishop Sheen with his witty homilies have made Peoria the "Habitat of Humor." Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique jump-started the 1960s feminist movement, while Philip José Farmer's The Lovers rocked the 1950s sci-fi universe. Dr. C.T. Vivian, Dr. Romeo Garrett, and John Gwynn Jr. held the frontline against racism. Representing the best of society's core values, Barb and Dick Hammond founded Friends of the Children of Haiti, a medical organization tending to the year-round needs of the earth's poorest. And unheralded Bill Noel has shouldered the sorrows and burdens of others who have leaned on him for decades. When it comes to all the legendary locals, they play in Peoria . . . and the world.

Psychology and Psychotherapy in the Perspective of Christian Anthropology

Autor: Nicolene L. Joubert , Dorothy Du Plessis

Número de Páginas: 328

A view of human nature generally forms part of the assumptions that undergird psychological theories and psychotherapeutic approaches. In this book, Christian anthropology is articulated as a foundation for the theories, approaches and techniques applied in practice by its contributors. Various essays from European-based practitioners in the fields of psychology, psychotherapy and counselling are included here. These authors draw scientific knowledge from the fields of psychology and psychotherapy, focusing on intra-psychic aspects of human functioning, such as emotions, drives and cognitions, as well as interpersonal and eco-systemic functioning. In addition to this, the authors consider spirituality as an intrinsic part of humanity through which persons seek meaning and transcendence and that influences physical and mental health. Spiritual insight is gained from the field of theology with specific reference to the Christian faith tradition. As a wide range of topics, contexts and cultural and ecumenical backgrounds are covered in this book many practitioners in mental health care and counselling should benefit from the knowledge, ideas and practical experience shared here.

A Critical Approach to Conceptual and Historical Issues in Psychology

Autor: Stanley O. Gaines, Jr.

Número de Páginas: 555

A Critical Approach to Conceptual and Historical Issues in Psychology: Soul, Self, and Science examines the evolving concept of human consciousness throughout the ages to show how humanity progressed from ‘studies of the soul’ – a major concern of ancient philosophy – to a science of the mind including the self – a primary concern of contemporary psychology. Divided into five parts, the book moves through the history of psychology from its philosophical roots into the present day and beyond. It takes a balanced and critical approach to figures and theories which have been instrumental in the development of psychology as a discipline, such as Plato, Descartes, Wundt, Du Bois, Freud, Jung, Watson, Skinner, and Maslow. Throughout, it offers diverse perspectives on the field’s history, providing insights into such topics as race and intelligence, gender and personality, and their treatment within psychology. Each chapter is supported by breakout boxes highlighting key theories related to that chapter’s topic. Thought questions, to encourage the reader to critically evaluate what they have read, notes with further information, and suggestions for further reading are...

Bright Hope

Autor: Ted Brackman

Número de Páginas: 232

Hope is not an attitude--it's a way of life. Therapist Ted Brackman, a colleague of Jim Wallis in the early Sojourners community, mines psychological, theological, and sociological insights in this practical and compassionate guide for "living well while ill." Ted's work was deepened by his eleven years with pancreatic cancer (after a nine-month prognosis). He developed and lived out a way of life animated by hope in the transcendent reality of God's future coming to us in the present. In his writing, he is an honest, inspiring companion: - for those who struggle to face the next hour with courage and strength. - for those who feel defeated and need a new way forward that reframes the present. - for caregivers and advocates who need new tools for replenishing both internal and external resources. - for communities of faith seeking to bring change to, and empowering hope within, marginalized populations. For all those ready to find a new way of living when false hopes and distractions are stripped away, to learn how to build a foundation for personal, communal, and social thriving . . . Ted Brackman offers Bright Hope.

We Salute You

Autor: Edward C. Kramer

Número de Páginas: 193

I have been an advocate for WWII veterans recording their experiences for future generations for many years. I believe generations to come need to know what cost and sacrifice these men and women endured to protect our country and world. They sacrificed years of their lives and many gave their lives for our country. Most veterans look back on their experiences in the military as building blocks for the rest of their lives. I believe that each veteran is a library, and when that veteran is gone, it is like the library is burned.

Meditation

Autor: Deane H. Shapiro (jr.) , Roger N. Walsh

Número de Páginas: 756

Many claim that meditation is effective in the treatment of many ailments associated with stress and high blood pressure, and in the management of pain. While there are many popular books on meditation, few embrace the science as well as the art of meditation. In this volume, Shapiro and Walsh fill this need by assembling a complete collection of scholarly articles--Meditation: Classic and Contemporary Perspectives. From an academic rather than a popular vantage, the volume takes the claims and counterclaims about meditation to a deeper analytical level by including studies from clinical psychology and psychiatry, neuroscience, psychophysiology, and biochemistry. Each selection is a contribution to the field, either as a classic of research, or by being methodologically elegant, heuristically interesting, or creative. Original articles cover such topics as the effects of meditation in the treatment of stress, hypertension, and addictions; the comparison of meditation with other self-regulation strategies; the adverse effects of meditation; and meditation-induced altered states of consciousness. Concluding with a major bibliography of related works, Meditation offers the reader a...
