Organizations are developing qualitatively and quantitatively more rapidly now than ever in the past. Bernard Lievegoed, arguably Europe's pre-eminent management consultant, assesses the enormous opportunities and potential problems confronting the world of international business. He has developed an approach to "developmental management" thinking which, with the onset of a single market in Europe, is becoming vitally important. It crosses national boundaries more visibly than any other management style.

Every age has its philosophy and way of bringing up children. Today's educational approach depends largely on materialistic, nineteenth-century ideas derived from the notion of "knowledge as power." The education of children in beauty, wisdom, and culture forms only a very small part of the modern curriculum. When we consider a child's full humanity of body, soul, and spirit, however, we emerge with a very different balance in our approach to education.  The author of this book tells us that our children cannot become happy, wise, and skilled adults unless their education―from the very beginning―take into consideration the development of body, soul, and spirit. Drawing on the educational ideas and philosophy of Rudolf Steiner, Goethe, and Schiller, the author describes the three main stages of child development and the genetic and biographical potential revealed at each stage. He goes on to explore the practical application of these insights as an educational method in harmony with the child's developing relationship with the surrounding world.  This is the essential, classic resource for all parents, teachers, and care givers.

-- How can education work in harmony with a child's developing relationship with the world around? -- How can education take account of body, soul, and spirit? Bernard Lievegoed takes a child's full humanity -- body, soul and spirit -- as his starting point. From this, a philosophy and pedagogy emerge in which, he argues, children can become happy, wise and skilled adults only when education takes the development of these three aspects into account from the very beginning. Drawing on the educational ideas of Rudolf Steiner, and on a philosophical tradition going back to Goethe and Schiller, Lievegoed turns away from the materialist nineteenth-century notion of 'knowledge is power' which still pervades mainstream education today. He describes the three main stages of child development -- pre-school, schoolchild and teenager -- in a clear and concise way. Lievegoed shows that each stage of roughly seven years has its own character, and its own genetic and biographical potential. The author goes on to explore the practical application of these insights as an education method in harmony with the child's developing relationship with the world around them.

Each individual’s path in life is a unique “work of art.” Nevertheless, we each encounter certain universal milestones, from the period of adolescence to old age. Regardless of our backgrounds, we must all pass through critical outer and inner stages. A bestseller since it was first published, Phases describes the various periods of human life―adolescence, the twenties, the thirties, the forties, and on into old age―looking at the inner qualities and challenges that come with each stage. The author states that conventional physiological and psychological explanations of the human being are incomplete. Unless the inner self, or I-being, of each individual is recognized and acknowledged, the unique characteristics of one’s unique life path and its challenges cannot have real meaning. Bernard Lievegoed―psychiatrist, educator, and anthroposophist―brought half a century of clinical practice, studious observation, and personal insight into the writing of this book. His overview of the course of human life and vocation, of male-female relationships, and of the sometimes-misleading picture of the human being presented by the various psychologies, have made this book essential reading for all those interested in acquiring a deeper understanding of life’s mysteries.

Phases: The Spiritual Rhythms in Adult Life (Bringing Spirit to Life)

Rudolf Steiner Press

Bernard Lievegoed led a creative life as a psychiatrist, a pioneering doctor working with children with special needs and a management consultant who founded the NPI Institute for Organisation Development. His books such as "Phases", "Man on the Threshold", "Towards the 21st Century" and "Developing Communities" reflect his wide ranging interests. How did Lievegoed combine such profound inner, spiritual research so productively with his pioneering social, medical, educational and management work? This question led Jelle van der Meulen to interview Lievegoed. This book presents a picture of the dynamics between inner and outer worlds, and of Bernard Lievegoed's ability to work with these dynamics. Personal questions are explored, such as Lievegoed's up-bringing in Indonesia, and the war years in Holland. He also looks to the human and spiritual challenges in the coming years.

Biographies & Memoirs

Hawthorn Press Ltd

Dictated to a friend in the months leading up to his death in December 1992, Bernard Lievegoed considered this book his last spiritual testament, having struggled with the themes for over sixty years.
In a very personal, intimate way, Lievegoed shares his thoughts about three spiritual streams in human evolution led by three individuals: Rudolf Steiner, Christian Rosenkreutz, and Manu. He courageously explores their karmic connections and past lives, shedding light on how these spiritual streams are active today. The last chapter is a sobering look at the strategy of the opposing powers and Lievegoed's intimations about the spiritual challenges we will face in the immediate future.
