Arising from a June 1991 conference in Tulsa, Oklahoma, this volume couples the 17 papers delivered with commentary by other panel members. The resulting dialog addresses issues relevant to the therapeutic setting such as the empowerment of clients, the uses of rituals and stories, and the differences between "exceptions" and "unique outcomes."

This is a book about how psychotherapy may be used to cultivate the courage and freedom to love. In a time when love seems to be fading and hatred and despair rising, it presents love as a skill and force that can heal and invigorate, reconnect and guide, calm and encourage. In Gilligan's self-relations approach, psychotherapy is a conversation about competing differences. When these differences are treated violently or indifferently, problems arise; solutions develop when the skills of love are practiced. Those practical skills are described here, with an emphasis on postconventional ethics, Buddhist and aikido principles, and ideas of human sponsorship.

We live in times of unprecedented change, with many deep calls for positive evolution and transformation. Generative Coaching is a response to those calls. It describes how our realities arise and fall, like waves on an ocean, and how we can skillfully navigate those waves to generate deeper happiness and success.Generative Coaching Volume 1 detailed the basic prototype of our six-step method by which this can be coached in ourselves and others. This second volume explores a more advanced version of the method, describing how to help clients use their own core patterns-both positive and negative-to open a resilient creative state in which many sustainable changes can be generated. The heart and soul of Generative Coaching is the creative consciousness that seamlessly connects all of life. Aligned with that integral awareness, we can mindfully unfold worlds to which we all want to belong.

Generative Coaching Volume I 
The Journey of Creative and Sustainable Change\nThere are times in the life of every individual, every marriage, every family, every culture and every business, where what has been done in the past will not help you to successfully go forward into the future. In these situations you have to do something completely new that has not been done before.\nTo be generative means to create something new. That is what this book is about. How do we creatively support ourselves and others to find new solutions and develop new possibilities?\nSituations calling for generative change also frequently involve a lot of uncertainty, risk, and potential danger. This can bring out inner obstacles and resistances which block creativity and that need to be identified and transformed. To effectively do so requires the ability to engage multiple intelligences and use "out-of-the-box" thinking.\nIn this book, internationally renowned coaches and authors Robert Dilts and Stephen Gilligan present a simple yet powerful six-step approach to navigating the complex path to a more meaningful and fulfilling future. Drawn from transcripts of live seminars, and brilliantly illustrated by Antonio Meza, this first volume provides a clear, practical and lively introduction to the magic of Generative Coaching.\nWhether you are an experienced coach or someone interested in learning about how to support others to reach more of their potential, this book will provide you with a useful and inspiring road map for navigating the journey of creative and sustainable change.

Stephen Gilligan and Robert Dilts truly take you on a voyage of self-discovery. The Hero s Journey examines the questions: How can you live a meaningful life? What is the deepest life you are called to, and how can you respond to that call? It is about how to discover your calling and how to embark on the path of learning and transformation that will reconnect you with your spirit, change negative beliefs and habits, heal emotional wounds and physical symptoms, deepen intimacy, and improve self-image and self-love. Along this path we inevitably meet challenges and confronting these challenges forces us to develop and think in new ways and push us outside our comfort zone. The book takes the form of a transcript of a four day workshop conducted by Stephen and Robert.

A wonderful voyage of discovery for everyone who thinks that, there must be more to life than this . There is also a hardback edition available, ISBN 9781845902865.

Self-Relations Therapy is, in part, a synthesis of theory and practice from various prior traditions. However, the approach is more than an amalgam of ideas; rather, SR offers a meta-framework in which multiplicity – of form, meaning, presence, and so on – can be contained within an actively adaptive, aware, and present relational self. Editors Stephen Gilligan and Dvorah Simon have gathered in a mosaic of content and communication to explain the perspective and to show how it can be applied across contexts. Divided into five broad sections – The Self-Relations Approach, Applications of Self-Relations, Self-Relations and Spiritual Paths, Dimensions of Self-Relations, Self-Relations and Expressive and Somatic Approaches – the book can be dipped into or read from beginning to end. Like a rich and colorful mosaic, the material can inspire or invoke whether you come in very close to follow specific themes or you stand back to take in the whole. Stephen Gilligan first presented the theory and practice of Self-Relations in his book The Courage to Love in 1997. In the years since, the work has continued to evolve through workshops and presentations, as well as through the dialog and sharing of ideas that he has invited along the way. Just as the approach itself is a kind of collaboration of entities, whether within an individual or between people or in the midst of a community, this new book encourages the multidimensionality of voices. The contributors are not confined by rigid structural or editorial requisites; they are invited to address their topics in the language that befits them. Thus, a sense of the SR ideal of "multiple truths at the same time" is embodied in the work.
