Stanley Siegel
Stanley Siegel challenges conventional therapeutic thinking with an unusual approach: instead of trying to "fix" clients, he encourages them to appreciate their own adaptive ingenuity. In the process, something remarkable almost always happens -- as in the case of the couple who solved their conflict only after literally building a wall within their home. These dozen stories demonstrate Siegel's convictions that the therapist has as much to learn as the patient, and that real healing is possible only when the healer truly respects his or her patients.

Alice Miller
In Pictures of a Childhood, Alice MiIler explores the connection between childhood and that creative activity which "somehow permits us to give form to the chaos within and thereby master our anxiety." Having realized in the early seventies a lifelong desire to paint, Dr. Miller found an unfamiliar world emerging from her paintings: not the "nice" world of her childhood, to which she had always testified, but one of fear, despair and loneliness. Meditating on her spontaneously executed watercolors - sixty-six of which are reproduced here in full colour - and their implications, Dr. Miller offers an analysis of the roots of creativity in the authentic self's struggle for survival.

At the very heart of the Ancient Mysteries of the World sits the Great Bear, Winnie-the-Pooh. In astrology, where even a constellation bears the name of our Great Bear, in Alchemy, and in the deeper secrets of Hermetism, in Druidism, in the Qabalah and in the interpretation of Tarot, Winnie-the-Pooh is master of every branch of ancient lore. We can now proclaim that Pooh is not only a Bear of Enormous Brain, but also Supreme Magus of the Second Millennium.

Joe Caruso
It seems the more we try to control our lives, the more out of control life becomes. In The Power of Losing Control, Joe Caruso - a cancer survivor and internationally acclaimed speaker whose seminars and workshops have literally transformed people's lives - shows us that the true power in "losing control" lies in the wisdom of making distinctions between what you can control, what you can merely affect, and what you must accept. When we stop wasting precious time trying to shape events beyond our power or change people into what we want them to be, we can refocus our energy in more productive ways. Written in Joe's warm, personal style and filled with real-life stories that are sure to change the way you see things, The Power of Losing Control shows you why the best way to achieve happiness is to stop pursuing it.

Jacqueline Small
The author of Awakening in Time uses the archetypal myth of Psyche and Eros to show readers how to combine their psychological and spiritual searches. Just as the mythical Psyche had to learn a new set of life principles to free herself from the jealousies of Aphrodite and win the love of the goddess's son Eros, so do we need to use Psyche's lessons to combine the forces of our psyche and soul. The book's "Twelve Seed Thoughts for the Journey" and "Psyche's Four Tasks" give readers immensely practical personal exercises for creating a soul-based psychology. Jacquelyn Small shows how it is only when we learn to combine soul and psychology that we find the true path to a higher purpose and a better sense of self.

Michael Sky
Sky explores how to restore peace and partnership in the lives of men and women. He proposes that after 5,000 years of patriarchal domination, the abuse of the female has become so ingrained in our culture as to become viral in nature. By naming the problem, he helps us begin the process of dealing with it. The author stresses the importance of going beyond the violent nature inherent in a male-dominated society to understand and embrace true and lasting partnership so that we can enjoy a fuller, balanced sexuality. "Calls for the most profound, the most rooted transformation/revolution possible: that women and men live out their human relationships as true partners." - Matthew Fox.

Robert Bly
"Readers of Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell will be familiar with the concept of archetypes, symbolic figures that embody key aspects of our contradictory nature, from the hero to the fool... Every aspect of life has its shadow, but people are reluctant to talk about it, observes poet Robert Bly in his introduction to The Shadow. We must face our dark side, Bly declares, to understand our past, control our less than altruistic impulses, and realize our dream of a better world. The unexpected selections that follow bear this out. Courageous glimpses into the dark side by Frederick Douglass, Bernard Malamud, Shirley Jackson, Anne Sexton, Stephen King, and Adrienne Rich evince a strange, sorrowful, yet hopeful beauty as they intuitively channel an archetype's infinitely resonant power.

Anthony Storr
Solitude was seminal in challenging the established belief that "interpersonal relationships of an intimate kind are the chief, if not the only, source of human happiness." Indeed, most self-help literature still places relationships at the center of human existence. Lucid and lyrical, Storr's book cites numerous examples of brilliant scholars and artists - from Beethoven and Kant to Anne Sexton and Beatrix Potter - to demonstrate that solitude ranks alongside relationships in its impact on an individual's well-being and productivity, as well as on society's progress and health. But solitary activity is essential not only for geniuses, says Storr; the average person, too, is enriched by spending time alone. For fifteen years, readers have found inspiritation and renewal in Storr's erudite, compassionate vision of human experience.
