Self Discovery

An exceptional and gripping firsthand account through poetry chronicling the life of a child that is sexually, physically, and mentally abused and then abandoned at the age of 12. Her migration from childhood abuse to adulthood takes you through her struggles and issues dealing with faith, forgiveness, brokenness, and healing the hurt to self discovery. She now stands renewed and celebrates each new discovery of self with great joy and honesty! Lisa Williams illuminates for us the path that many other survivors of abuse travel in order to find peace and joy for a sweet tomorrow. A catalyst for healing many victims and survivors of abuse. A truly awesome creation that must be shared if we are ever to heal the hurt of our daughters, sisters, aunts, mothers, and wives.

Grounded in investigations conducted over the past 25 years, Adolescents’ Self-Discovery in Groups demonstrates how adolescents can become more active in society based on how they form, maintain, and evaluate groups. By collaborating with youth in a wide range of communities, Thorkildsen details the trajectory of adolescents’ development—from a primarily self-oriented perspective to beliefs about and participation in local and global activities. Focused especially on the potential of schools for catalyzing this development, this volume details youth’s affirmations and critiques of educational practices, and uses these evaluations to illustrate adolescents’ readiness to fulfill leadership responsibilities. Written for scholars, students, and professionals seeking to understand how adolescents construe their social worlds, Adolescents’ Self-Discovery in Groups makes a powerful case for group interaction being central to adolescent development.

Here Grof presents a useful model of the psyche—a model extended by his thirty years of studying non-ordinary states of consciousness. It is useful for understanding such phenomena as shamanism, mysticism, psychedelic states, spontaneous visionary experiences, and psychotic episodes. The model is also useful in explaining the dynamics of experiential psychotherapies and a variety of sociopolitical manifestations such as war and revolution. This book might have been entitled Beyond Drugs. The second part describes the principles and process of the non-pharmacological technique developed by the author and his wife, Christina, for self-exploration and for psychotherapy. Grof explores in detail the components of this technique. He describes its method, its effective mechanisms, as well as its goals and potential. Its practice is simple, since it utilizes the natural healing capacity of the psyche.
