What is intelligence? Is our success in life predetermined by the level of intelligence with which we are born? If not, if intelligence can be influenced by life experience, what can a parent or an educator do to help raise the intelligence of a child? Learning to Learn: Ways to Nurture Your Child's Intelligence is the provocative response to these and other important questions posed by concerned students, parents, and teachers, as these issues take on international significance. Dr. Angela Browne-Miller, an esteemed educator and clinical social worker, offers important guidance to promote cognitive development in children and to help adults investigate the potential of their own intelligences. She describes methods of stimulating mental abilities and intellectual performance. Dr. Browne-Miller contends that children can be taught how to concentrate, to think, to organize their thoughts - and, ultimately, how to be intelligent. The essence of this excellent book's message is that parents and teachers can create a reality in which children's spirits and minds flourish, providing we all develop our own understanding of mental ability and consciousness. To this end, the author explains how common assumptions regarding intelligence affect parents' views of their mental capabilities and those of their children. Dr. Browne-Miller delves into a number of controversial biological and genetic views regarding intelligence and examines their influence on the development of mental ability. After a close look at the influence of family life on children's mental ability, the author describes in depth the vital criteria for selecting preschools and elementary schools, taking special care to delineate signs of abuse and neglect as found in a number of such settings. She examines the transitions a child makes from the home to the educational setting, where school success and school problems emerge. For example, the author illustrates how "educational labeling" and "tracking" and the identification of gifted children can have negative psychological and emotional impact. Devoting significant attention to the more cognitive aspects of mental ability, Dr. Browne-Miller carefully describes methods of developing mental ability in young minds, including instruction in strategy selection, concentration, memory, and other functional elements of cognitive ability, as well as processes of association and inquiry that are instrumental in the development of creativity. Learning to Learn concludes its plan for raising mental ability with a fascinating explanation of Dr. Browne-Miller's consciousness technology - the practical methodology for attention, focus, and commitment to mental efforts. Learning to Learn is an invaluable resource for anyone dedicated to the enrichment of a child's mind, including parents, teachers, early childhood educators, psychologists, counselors, sociologists, and pediatricians.

The author examines the numerous facets of what she calls "implicit intelligence policies" -- those unspoken directives (and assumptions) that often profoundly influence social and educational policies -- and their specific impacts on programs (and policies) addressing what is presumed to be measured and actual "mental ability." This author contends that mental ability is largely flexible, that environmental and educational actions/activities can powerfully affect the expression of individuals' mental abilities. The massively untapped human potential is there, waiting to be expressed. See also the electronic form of this book newly published by Springer.

Transcending Addicition and Other Afflictons: Lifehealing (Frontiers in Psychotherapy)

Addiction & Recovery

Ablex Publishing/Greenwood

This volume sheds new light on addiction and other ailments, detailing a recipe for transcendence. The author describes pattern addiction as the root of a variety of psychologicl and physical afflictions including what is traditionally called addiction. Drug addiction offers one of the most tangible examples of patterning and some of the most tangible evidence that addiction to a pattern can be transcended. Pattern addiction is part of the human condition. It frequently manifests itself in explicit symptoms such as drug addiction, physical pain, chronic ailments including ulcers, and even cancer. Implicit pattern addictions are built over a long period of time because most neurological programming takes place over time. This patterning becomes detrimental when the pattern is harmful to the emotional, physical, and/or spiritual well-being of the individual (or his family or community). All too often, medicine treats the explicit symptoms of an affliction without correcting the underlying and more implicit pattern addictions. This is due, in part, to the inability of current medical theory to do more.
