Psychology & Counseling

Psychosynthesis Press

Born out of a passionate interest in environmental education, Linda Sartor began experimenting with consensus decision-making in her public school classrooms. This book reports on what she did and what she discovered in the process. She found that consensus in the classroom works as both an instructional strategy and a classroom management approach, and fosters a lively learning community. It both requires and generates a paradigm shift in a teacher's relationship with students and students' relationships with each other. This book will inspire and assist educators to use the consensus process in and out of the classroom.

Held in Love: Life Stories to Inspire Us Through Times of Change

L'Amour Déraisonné: Reclaiming Self (Transformational Teachings from Psychosynthesis and A Course in Miracles) is a celebration of life, life in spite of the obstacles of childhood abuse, neglect, confusion and poor self esteem. What Joseph Campbell might term "the heroine's journey," this true story describes the encounter of the multi-faceted sides of "self" in one young woman's search for the "right to exist." The story tells of trauma and lifelong, repressed pain, but most importantly reveals a story of transformation, courage, perseverance and acceptance. Ms. De Gage's life story demonstrates how the tools of Roberto Assagioli's psychosynthesis, as well as the teachings of A Course in Miracles, helped her to encounter and reclaim her own Self, and her link to the essence of Love, Universal Love. She explains, that as we awaken to our true Selves, understanding that our lives are lessons in the classroom of life, we realize that life is about forgiveness. No matter what life has dealt us in terms of challenges and difficulties..."unfairness," we alone decide the time to free ourselves from the infernal prison of hatred, abuse, projection and violence to allow forgiveness and love into our lives. The decision is ours. L'Amour Déraisonné: Reclaiming Self is a story of an interior journey that invites us to open the neglected or forgotten door within our minds, take a deep breath, and look within; the journey to our own true Self is just beginning.

Literature & Fiction

Brown, Jim

Poetry

In this thoroughly-researched and exquisitely crafted treatise, Jim Brown synthesizes the newest understandings in neuroscience, developmental psychology, and dynamical systems theory for educators and others committed to nurturing human development. He explains complex concepts in down-to-earth terms, suggesting how these understandings can transform education to truly engender optimal learning and intelligence. He explores the nature of consciousness, intelligence, and mind. Brown then offers a model of optimal human learning through life-long brain development within a supportive culture--drawing on the work of Piaget, Erickson, Maslow, Kohlberg, and Steiner--and how that work is being vastly expanded by neuroscience and dynamical systems thinking.
