Deseori, cei care solicit? ajutorul unui psihoterapeut nu sunt doar ?n c?utarea unor solu?ii pentru conflictele care ?i fr?m?nt?, ci simt c? au nevoie de un nou ?nceput pentru c? undeva, ?n interior, exist? un defect care trebuie reparat, un defect care a ap?rut ?n rela?iile cu ceilal?i. ?n Defectul fundamental, M. Balint ofer? at?t o descriere a personalit??ii umane ?n termeni rela?ionali, ?n care aceast? arie a defectului fundamental ??i are un loc definit de rela?iile bipersonale primare, c?t ?i o ilustrare a modalit??ii de a repara acest defect fundamental ?i de a oferi pacientului ?ansa unui nou ?nceput. Pentru autor, defectul fundamental reflect? consecin?ele actuale ale unor experien?e traumatice timpurii ?n rela?ia bipersonal? care pot fi retr?ite ?i vindecate pe cale analitic?, chiar dac? vindecarea las? o cicatrice. ?n abordarea sa, Balint recunoa?te importan?a aportului ambilor participan?i pentru rezultatul tratamentului ?i atrage aten?ia asupra contribu?iei terapeutului la desf??urarea procesului terapeutic. Pentru a crea atmosfera necesar? desf??ur?rii acestui proces, este necesar ca terapeutul s? fie flexibil emo?ional ?i s?-i permit? pacientului s? regreseze la nivelul defectului fundamental pentru a reveni, apoi, capabil s? aib? o rela?ie de obiect diferit?, mai matur?, cu cei din jur.

Ce ne ?ndeamn? s? r?vnim la acele lucruri care nu ne apar?in, devenind invidio?i, sau chiar s? ni le ?nsu?im uneori, nesocotind, astfel, unul dintre principiile morale esen?iale? Avem oare de-a face cu un atribut uman primar, mai mult sau mai pu?in ?mbl?nzit de-a lungul veacurilor??n mituri ?i basme, furtul ?i pierderea sunt prezente ca mecanisme declan?atoare ale unor serii de evenimente fatidice sau, din contr?, ca germeni ai unei noi stabilit??i, superioar? celei anterioare. Trec?nd dincolo de simpla nara?iune a acestora, cartea de fa?? ne dezv?luie, printr-o fin? analiz? psihologic?, aspectele, motiva?iile, ra?iunile interioare ale ho?iei, acelea care scap? adesea privirii moralizatoare, precum ?i ?n?elesurile ascunse ale pandantului s?u, pierderea.Ho?ul interior este o lectur? util? ?i ?n acela?i timp pl?cut? pentru psihologi, psihoterapeu?i, asisten?i sociali, avoca?i ?i, totodat?, pentru to?i aceia care doresc s? ?n?eleag? ra?iunile ascunse ale comportamentelor respinse, ?n general, de societate.?Un mit esen?ial despre ho?ie este povestea L?nii de Aur.

Do you feel caught in a negative, looping behavior pattern? Do you ever wonder why the same situation seems to play out in your life with a revolving cast of characters? If you have become a “people pleaser” or fancy yourself a self-styled rebel, perhaps these are the surface level manifestations of something stirring deep within you—a need to let go. Other symptoms of holding on to the past are a constant need for acknowledgment or a fear of showing vulnerability. The common thread that runs through these behaviors and patterns is that the symptoms likely arise from a specific negative experience, which has never been fully processed. Never been let go. You have allowed this experience to take control of your destiny, and it is keeping you from living free and being who you really are. THE TIME HAS COME TO LET GO!

San Pedro Huachuma: Opening the Pathways of the Heart
Javier Regueiro
¥81.50
San Pedro / Huachuma: Opening The Pathways Of The Heart is an invitation to explore and reconnect with our inner landscapes with the help of San Pedro, also known in South America as Huachuma. San Pedro (Echinopsis pachanoi) is a psychoactive cactus native of the Andes, but more importantly it’s an ancestral medicine that has been used for millennia for healing and ceremonial purposes. Our Western psychic and psychological make-up differs radically from that of Andean people, and our needs as modern people differ just as much from the needs of the ancestors and inhabitants of this land. This book intends to bridge such cultural gap in ways that honor the wealth of wisdom gathered through centuries of native studies and experimentation, and at the same time address our present day state of emotional disconnection and spiritual confusion, which are at the root of most physical, emotional, and mental diseases. Javier Regueiro draws a comprehensive and practical map for exploring consciousness using this ancestral medicine by sharing from his extensive knowledge as a plant medicine person, his personal experiences, and those of the many people he has guided over the years using this medicine.

No one is a worse guide to success than your typical successful man. He seldom understands the reasons of his own success; and when he is asked by a popular magazine to give his experiences for the benefit of the youth of a whole nation, it is impossible for him to be natural and sincere. He knows the kind of thing that is expected from him, and if he didn’t come to London with half a crown in his pocket he probably did something equally silly, and he puts that down, and the note of the article or interview is struck, and good-bye to genuine truth!

Most entrepreneurs and people in business misunderstand the purpose and power of meditation and how it complements and energizes business leaders. It is often thought that meditation is a tool to relax, a tool to rid unwanted stress and a means to dilute energies that activate the mind. All that is mostly untrue. Meditation is not just about seeking serenity and harmony. It is not about donning a veil of peace and relinquishing confrontational means. It is not just about contemplating the higher truths and the philosophical meaning of life.?Meditation is about empowering your physical presence?with the powers of the universe. It's about?becoming the force of attraction?instead of merely learning the laws of attraction. It is about?seeking and uniting the divine energy within you so that you may leap forward and make your inspiration take form and take flight.? Meditation is both the object and the subject of silence; it is the nexus of the universe and the energy that binds it. Energies flow in waves and transmit in vibrations. How you vibrate is more important than the words you chose. Meditation gives you a path to the right vibration and is best taken when the mind is disciplined and silent. Words and ideas that echo in the head are mere distractions that mindfulness and focus need to arrest. Meditation is the single most important discipline you need if you want to conquer your destiny. Is This Book For You?This book is dedicated to those that want to smash through the glass ceilings they have put over themselves.?Greatness is already within you, you just need to learn how to release it. This book will teach you exactly how to?extract every ounce of greatness you have,?and then some. Don't wait any longer!

At the beginning a misconception must be removed from the path. Many people, if not most, look on literary taste as an elegant accomplishment, by acquiring which they will complete themselves, and make themselves finally fit as members of a correct society. They are secretly ashamed of their ignorance of literature, in the same way as they would be ashamed of their ignorance of etiquette at a high entertainment, or of their inability to ride a horse if suddenly called upon to do so. There are certain things that a man ought to know, or to know about, and literature is one of them.

Life has blessed us with the freedom to soar. We must have the courage to risk, the faith to believe and the will to succeed. To discover and release what is eternally present within the consciousness of every human being, certain virtues ?and traits are required to be inculcated in life and understood. Virtues make person beautiful and lovely. The way they do things, the way they move, speak and dress, all these creats their personality. If a person has virtue, they will always look rich, for everything is close to them will be filled with quality. Every ambitious person's heart wants to soar to new heights. When silence and virtue live together in one person, there is perfection. Spread your wings, have a clear vision. Soar to new heights. Swoop down on opportunities. Make golden memories.

L'auteur, conférencier, étudie depuis quarante ans, les phénomènes inexpliqués. Il s'est initié seul, intuitivement, au magnétisme puis à la communication avec l'au-delà, depuis le printemps 1993. "Ma quête spirituelle m'a ouvert tant de portes nouvelles que j'ai choisi le format d'un abécédaire pour présenter ses multiples facettes. Je vis et je pratique une spiritualité naturelle offerte à tous ceux qui acceptent de s'interroger, de remettre en question leurs vieilles certitudes en les confrontant au filtre de l'intuition. J'ai usé et j'use toujours de ma médiumnité comme d'un outil privilégié de recherches. L'aventure intérieure m'a peu à peu mené vers les mathématiques puis la physique alors que ma formation ne m'y préparait pas. Ma spiritualité n'a pas seulement changé mes perceptions ; elle a bousculé mes certitudes fondées, le plus souvent, sur l'opinion d'un autre. Par elle et avec elle, ma relation aux autres a changé. Le travail sur soi, plus que le don, m'a peu à peu conduit, au fil des ans, à juguler et atténuer de plus en plus ces excès de l'ego que nous connaissons tous. Chaque lecteur pourra parcourir ce livre en suivant ses propres centres d'intérêt. S'il le souhaite, il pourra peut-être découvrir, au fil des mots choisis, un autre chemin offrant un regard neuf sur ce monde si mystérieux qui nous contient et nous entoure."
Collected Papers on Analytical Psychology: "Included Glossary of Jungian Terms"
Collected Papers on Analytical Psychology: "Included Glossary of Jungian Terms"
Carl Gustav Jung
¥37.69
This book contains a selection of articles and pamphlets on analytical psychology written at intervals during the past fourteen years. These years have seen the development of a new discipline, and as is usual in such a case, have involved many changes of view-point, of concept, and of formulation.??It is not my intention to give a presentation of the fundamental concepts of analytical psychology in this book; it throws some light, however, on a certain line of development which is especially characteristic of the Zürich School of psychoanalysis.??As is well known, the merit of the discovery of the new analytical method of general psychology belongs to Professor Freud of Vienna. His original view-points had to undergo many essential modifications, some of them owing to the work done at Zürich, in spite of the fact that he himself is far from agreeing with the standpoint of this school.??I am unable to explain fully the fundamental differences between the two schools, but would indicate the following points: The Vienna School takes the standpoint of an exclusive sexualistic conception, while that of the Zürich School is symbolistic. The Vienna School interprets the psychological symbol semiotically, as a sign or token of certain primitive psychosexual processes. Its method is analytical and causal.??The Zurich School recognises the scientific feasibility of such a conception, but denies its exclusive validity, for it does not interpret the psychological symbol semiotically only, but also symbolistically, that is, it attributes a positive value to the symbol.??The value does not depend merely on historical causes; its chief importance lies in the fact that it has a meaning for the actual present, and for the future, in their psychological aspects. For to the Zürich School the symbol is not merely a sign of something repressed and concealed, but is at the same time an attempt to comprehend and to point out the way of the further psychological development of the individual. Thus we add a prospective import to the retrospective value of the symbol.??The method of the Zurich School is therefore not only analytical and causal, but also synthetic and prospective, in recognition that the human mind is characterised by "caus?" and also by "fines" (aims). The latter fact needs particular emphasis, because there are two types of psychology, the one following the principle of hedonism, and the other following the principle of power. Scientific materialism is pertinent to the former type, and the philosophy of Nietzsche to the latter. The principle of the Freudian theory is hedonism, while that of Adler (one of Freud's earliest personal pupils) is founded upon the principle of power.??The Zurich School, recognising the existence of these two types (also remarked by the late Professor William James), considers that the views of Freud and Adler are one-sided, and only valid within the limits of their corresponding type.??Freud and Adler interpret in the analytical and causal way, reducing to the infantile and primitive. Thus with Freud the conception of the "aim" is the fulfilment of desire, with Adler it is the usurpation of power. Both authors take the standpoint in their practical analytical work which brings to view only infantile and gross egoistic aims.??The Zurich School is convinced of the fact that within the limits of a diseased mental attitude the psychology is such as Freud and Adler describe. It is, indeed, just on account of such impossible and childish psychology that the individual is in a state of inward dissociation and hence neurotic. The Zürich School, therefore, in agreement with them so far, also reduces the psychological symbol (the phantasy products of the patient) to the fundamental infantile hedonism, or to the infantile desire for power. But Freud and Adler content themselves with the result of mere reduction, according to their scientific biologism and naturalism.
