Book Description
In some cases the traumas spring up in front of us, like targets created long ago that cannot be ignored. In many cases, however, we will have to do some groundwork, we will have to clear the way, to dis-mantle obstacles blocking our path, or to build, to create supports and bridges to open up the way to the trauma and to healing. A balanced person is a healthy person and a state of dynamic equilibrium is a healthy state to be in. Whatever upsets the balance, however deep down in the darkness of the unconscious it may be, will show signs of life. The longer we turn down the invitation to confront the trauma, the more formidable the challenge of taking a fresh look at a case we thought had closed will seem. Once, our tendency to flee as quickly as we could from the pain of the trauma was the right response, and indeed may even have saved us. Now, however, we have different capabilities and more choices. We hang on like survivors of a shipwreck to the old, rickety raft battered by the stormy 'seas' of our childhood and fail to see the calm waters we are now heading towards. The tried-and-tested for-mula that once saved us is no longer essential or the right method to use when both we and the world around us have changed. When we refuse to recognise a simple feeling of malaise as a harbinger of something else, we can expect other less persistent but clearly more effective states to follow: panic attacks with sudden bolts from the blue, the depression that deprives us of the joy of living, the phobias that restrict our living space, and other physical illnesses that desperately try, before the final embrace of death, to let us know what is happening in the depths of our being... These are the things that restrict us and inspire fear in us, yet these are also the things that speak to us of new pathways and possibilities. Will we remain in the familiar 'security' that the child clings to or will we, as adults, take the frightened child by the hand and, with the therapy we offer, lead it out into the light of day?

Book Description
Our Sacred Dimension makes an important contribution to the anthropological, philosophical and psychological consideration of man in our era. It explores the role of the sacred in our lives, how it constitutes an antidote to the deterioration of our Personhood and to suffering, and how recent history has facilitated the withdrawal of our minds into a narrowly understood mechanical and material realism that in effect puts a shroud over our ability to perceive, and live, our lives in their full dimensions.This book identifies the problem of modern egoism and explains the nature of sacredness in our lives. It encourages us to explore the sacred and instructs us how to do so. This is not a primer for ascetics, but a handbook for realizing our spiritual potential in our secular lives. This book is a call to reflection in a fast-paced, commercialized and self-centred world. Every person, regardless of their past, can rise to the sacred and realize their personhood.

Book Description
Storied Lives: Emancipatory Educational Inquiry—Experience, Narrative, & Pedagogy in the International Landscape of Diversity contains exemplary research practices, strategies, and findings gleaned from the contributions to the 15 issues of the Journal of Critical Inquiry Into Curriculum and Instruction (JCI~>CI). Founding Editor Tonya Huber initiated the JCI~>CI in 1997, as a refereed journal committed to publishing educational scholarship and research of professionals in graduate study. The journal was distinguished by its requirement that the scholarship be the result of the first author’s graduate research—according to Cabell’s Directory, the first journal to do so. Equally important, the third issue of each volume targeted wide representation of cultures and world regions. “Current thinking on ...” written by members of the JCI~>CI Editorial Advisory Board explores state-of-the-art topics related to curriculum inquiry. Illustrations, photography (e.g., Sebastião Salgado’s Workers in vol. 2), collage, student-generated art/artifacts, and full-color art enhance cutting-edge methodologies extending educational research through Aboriginal and Native oral traditions, arts-based analysis, found poetry, data poetry, narrative, and case study foci on liberatory pedagogy and social justice action research.

Book Description
Durant sa longue existence, le penseur religieux J. Krishnamurti (1895-1986) a conquis l'esprit de millions de gens à travers l'Europe, l'Inde, l'Australie et l'Amérique du Nord. Disparu en 1986, il reste pour beaucoup une référence centrale dans les mouvements de libération spirituelle qui ont fleuri au XXe siècle. Parmi les nombreuses biographies qui lui ont été consacrées, celle qu'a écrite Radha Sloss occupe une place tout à fait à part qu'elle est sûre de conserver compte tenu de l'exceptionnelle qualité des souvenirs sur lesquels elle est basée: ceux de l'auteur, fille adoptive de Krishnamurti, ceux de son père ensuite, Desikacharya Rajagopal (dit Raja), meilleur ami et plus proche collaborateur de Krishnamurti pendant plus de quarante ans, et ceux de sa mère enfin, Rosalind, l'âme de leur foyer commun. Qu'est-ce que c'était que vivre avec Krishnamurti, et non pas seulement assister à ses conférences ou participer à des causeries avec lui, mais également partager sa vie de tous les jours, jouer avec lui et faire l'expérience de son inépuisable gentillesse avec les enfants et les animaux, contempler un ciel étoilé en sa compagnie. L'écouter évoquer sa propre enfance en Inde et la figure vénérée de sa mère trop tôt disparue. Faire grâce à lui la connaissance de personnages aussi intéressants qu'Aldous Huxley... Ecouter encore, de la bouche des autres adultes de son entourage, ces histoires extraordinaires: la création de la Société Théosophique, la sélection de Krishnamurti à l'âge de 15 ans par les Théosophes C.W. Leadbeater et Annie Besant pour servir de «véhicule» (moyen d'incarnation) à Lord Maitreya, l'accession de Krishnamurti à une indépendance spirituelle iconoclaste une vingtaine d'années plus tard. Avec talent, l'auteur nous raconte aussi, et c'est la partie dramatique de son livre-témoignage, comment, après avoir formé une véritable famille admirée pour son harmonie, Krishnamurti et ses parents ont été amenés à «divorcer». «Comment des idéaux de fraternité humaine, de renoncement à la violence contre toute créature, de libération de la peur, de l'ambition et de la culpabilité, comment des idéaux d'une telle élévation ont-ils pu dégénérer en une telle discorde ?» Vies dans l'Ombre avec J. Krishnamurti est à la fois une biographie non autorisée du philosophe religieux, une autobiographie où l'auteur revit avec nous sa merveilleuse enfance auprès de celui-ci et un réquisitoire affectueux mais sans concession contre le Krishnamurti des années 1960-80. Un document unique sur un guide spirituel de premier plan et un témoignage profondément émouvant.

Book Description
In The Ancestor Syndrome Anne Ancelin Schutzenberger explains and provides clinical examples of her unique psychogenealogical approach to psychotherapy. She shows how, as mere links in a chain of generations, we may have no choice in having the events and traumas experienced by our ancestors visited upon us in our own lifetime. The book includes fascinating case studies and examples of 'genosociograms' (family trees) to illustrate how her clients have conquered seemingly irrational fears, psychological and even physical difficulties by discovering and understanding the parallels between their own life and the lives of their forebears. The theory of 'invisible loyalty' owed to previous generations, which may make us unwittingly re-enact their life events, is discussed in the light of ongoing research into transgenerational therapy. Anne Ancelin Schutzenberger draws on over 20 years of experience as a therapist and analyst and is a well-respected authority, particularly in the field of Group Therapy and Psychodrama. First published as Aie, mes Aieux this fascinating insight into a unique style of clinical work has already sold over 32,000 copies in France and will appeal to anyone working in the psychotherapy profession.
