关系场理论RFT（Relationship field theory）是以中国传统文化为土壤，以心理学理论为研究基础，以关系场为研究内容，以耗散结构理论为指导原则建构起来的思想体系。是一组内在有序外在广泛联系并尝试对主观世界中的事件做出一般意义上的描述和解释的观念、法则、原理的集合。关系场理论的提出旨在协助人们理解自己的心理事实，解释人际中的各种现象，并能够在此基础上对未来做出有效的预测和控制。 书中从六个层面观察和分析了沟通中所发生的事件。这六个层面分别为：零维元始要素，一维相对关系，二维标准平面，三维心理容器，四维生命个体，五维关系场域。本书包括五章，*章是总述，主要介绍了关系场理论的总体目标及其相关的一些专有概念。第二章是核心假设，列举了九条关系场的理论假设，这九条假设将成为整个关系场丛书的理论根基。第三章谈及五维关系场的结构，先论述了零维元始要素的基本含义和性质，之后从一维到五维逐一展开论述。针对具体事件的分析，可以从这六个维度入手，使分析更加有层次，也更*。第四章的标题是关系场理论中的十级概念，*级概念中只包含一个内容：有序。第十级概念中有十个内容，是有效沟通所用的简要十步。它们既可用于关系场咨询实践，也可用于营销和谈判等其它实践活动中。第五章关系场咨询理论，侧重探讨关系场理论在心理咨询中的应用，包括咨询原则、咨询对象、咨询技术、咨询理念、原因分析、疗效因子、咨询步骤等七个方面的内容。

Cartea care a schimbat vie?ile a milioane de oameni Jocul A?adar, vedem c?, pentru a juca cu succes jocul vie?ii, trebuie s? ne antren?m facultatea de a ne imagina. Un om cu aceast? abilitate, antrenat s? ??i imagineze doar binele, va atrage ?n via?a sa ?toate dreptele dorin?e ale inimii“ – s?n?tate, bog??ie, iubire, prieteni, expresia perfect? a sinelui, idealurile cele mai ?nalte. Imagina?ia a fost supranumit? ?foarfeca min?ii“, care taie ?i taie, zi dup? zi, imaginile v?zute, iar omul ??i ?nt?lne?te propriile crea?ii, mai devreme sau mai t?rziu, ?n lumea exterioar?. Pentru a ?i antrena cu succes imagina?ia, omul trebuie s? ?n?eleag? cum ?i func?ioneaz? mintea. Grecii au spus ?Cunoa?te te pe tine ?nsu?i!“ Exist? trei planuri ale min?ii: subcon?tientul, con?tientul ?i supracon?tientul. Subcon?tientul este, pur ?i simplu, putere f?r? direc?ie. El este ca aburul sau electricitatea ?i face ceea ce este direc?ionat s? fac?; el nu are putere s? influen?eze. Tot ceea ce omul simte profund sau imagineaz? cu claritate este imprimat ?n subcon?tient ?i este executat ?n cele mai mici detalii. Iubirea Adev?rata iubire este dezinteresat? ?i eliberat? de team?. Ea se revars? asupra obiectului afec?iunii ei f?r? a cere nimic ?n schimb. Bucuria ei se g?se?te ?n bucuria de a d?rui. Iubirea este Dumnezeu manifestat ?i cea mai puternic? for?? magnetic? din univers. Iubirea pur?, lipsit? de egoism, atrage ceea ce ?i apar?ine; nu trebuie s? caute sau s? cear?. Foarte pu?ini au o vag? idee despre adev?rata iubire. Omul este egoist, tiranic ?i tem?tor ?n afec?iunile lui, pierz?nd astfel obiectul iubirii lui. Gelozia este cel mai r?u du?man al iubirii, c?ci imagina?ia se dezl?n?uie?te, v?z?nd fiin?a iubit? atras? de altcineva, ?i, inevitabil, aceste temeri devin realitate dac? nu sunt neutralizate.

G?nde?ti exagerat de mult ?nainte de a ac?iona? E?ti ?nclinat s? faci previziuni negative? ??i faci griji c? e posibil s? se ?nt?mple ce poate fi mai r?u? Te afecteaz? prea tare feedbackul negativ? E?ti foarte autocritic? Dac? r?spunsul este afirmativ, suferi de anxietate. Vestea bun? este c? po?i ?nv??a s? ??i gestionezi capcanele anxiet??ii – ezitarea excesiv? ?nainte de a ac?iona, reflectarea ?ndelungat? ?i ?ngrijorarea, perfec?ionismul paralizant, teama de feedback ?i critic? ?i evitarea (inclusiv procrastinarea). R?spunde mai ?nt?i la chestionarele care te vor ajuta s? apreciezi ?n ce stadiu te afli ?n raport cu un blocaj specific anxiet??ii, apoi afl? ce schimb?ri de g?ndire ?i modific?ri comportamentale ??i recomand? autoarea. Bazate pe principiile terapiei cognitiv?comportamentale, acestea pot fi folosite ?n via?a de zi cu zi pentru a dep??i blocajele ?i a avea succes ?n rela?ii, at?t ?n via?a personal?, c?t ?i ?n cea profesional?.

Un angajat cu experien?? ajunge s? ia decizii financiare nes?buite, repet?nd, f?r? s? ?tie, istoria t?t?lui s?u, un parior "ratat" pe care nici m?car nu-l cunoscuse. O t?n?r? depresiv? vrea s? se sinucid? prin "evaporare", pentru ca mai apoi s? afle c? bunica ei supravie?uise camerelor de gazare de la Auschwitz. Un b?iat e cuprins de senza?ii inexplicabile de frig, f?r? s? ?tie c? unchiul s?u murise ?nghe?at.?Cartea de fa?? vorbe?te despre acele fobii, depresii ?i g?nduri obsesive care ne cople?esc f?r? s? ne d?m seama de unde ni se trag. Combin?nd cercet?rile din neuro?tiin?e cu interven?iile specifice constela?iilor familiale, autorul demonstreaz? ?n ce fel uneori ajungem s? mo?tenim ?i s? retr?im, ?n mod incon?tient, suferin?ele ?i traumele nerezolvate ale str?mo?ilor. Cititorul are la ?ndem?n? c?i utile pentru eliberarea de traumele mo?tenite pe cale transgenera?ional?. Aceste tehnici merg de la identificarea anxiet??ilor mascate dup? cuvinte ?i comportamente aparte p?n? la genogram?, dialogul imaginar cu str?mo?ii ?i eliberarea, prin compasiune, de suferin?ele genera?iilor trecute.

C?nd "explodezi" de furie, gesturile necugetate pot avea consecin?e pe care s? le regre?i o via?? ?ntreag?: ajungi s?-?i strici rela?iile cu cei mai buni prieteni, ??i periclitezi situa?ia de la serviciu sau chiar te ?mboln?ve?ti grav. Reac?ia pasiv?, de tipul "Rabd? ?i ?ntoarce ?i cel?lalt obraz", dar ?i exprimarea brut? a furiei (prin lovirea unor perne, de exemplu) sunt, ambele, solu?ii la fel de nes?n?toase. Dar cum altfel s? faci fa?? stresului ?i nedrept??ilor ?i cum s? ??i aperi punctul de vedere, f?r? s? pari agresiv? Influentul terapeut american Albert Ellis te ajut? s?-?i ?n?elegi mai bine credin?ele care ??i provoac? furia, s? ??i exprimi ?n moduri asertive (dar neviolente) opiniile ?n fa?a celor care te-au m?niat, dar ?i s? aplici metode de relaxare ?i de control cognitiv-comportamental al reac?iilor afective exacerbate ?i al g?ndurilor ira?ionale disfunc?ionale. Miza c?r?ii nu const? ?n a-?i reprima sau ascunde furia, ci ?n a o accepta ?i a o modula ?n forme s?n?toase, care te pot ajuta s? fii mai asertiv ?i mai echilibrat.?

Pornind de la celebra sentin?? dostoievskian? – ?Dac? Dumnezeu nu exist?, atunci totul este permis" – unii au depl?ns declinul autorit??ilor religioase ?i al idealurilor morale, iar al?ii au conchis c? singurul principiu de via?? care ne r?m?ne este cel al luptei pentru supravie?uire, observ? Fromm. Ca r?spuns la bulversarea valorilor din secolul trecut, cartea de fa?? aduce argumente filosofice ?i socio-psihanalitice pentru o ?ntoarcere a omului la sine, pentru o nou? "art? de a tr?i". Etica "umanist?", propus? de Fromm, se vrea o alternativ? la etica "autoritar?", motivat? de culp? ?i supunere tem?toare. Noua moral? se va ghida, astfel, dup? gradul ?n care reu?im s? ne actualiz?m poten?ialul - acesta va fi criteriul ?n func?ie de care vom decide ce ne este permis sau interzis din punct de vedere moral. C?ci, ?n loc de a ne trata propria persoan? ca pe o marf? (dup? cum ne ?ncurajeaz? "orientarea mercantil?" de ast?zi), menirea noastr? va fi s? ne realiz?m poten?ialul. "Binele" este, astfel, redefinit ca afirmare a vie?ii ?i actualizare a posibilit??ilor umane, iar "r?ul" este echivalat cu degradarea puterilor noastre omene?ti.?

Interviuri aprofundate, initiate de Gallup Organization cu mai mult de 80.000 de manageri din peste 400 de companii – cel mai extins studiu de gen, realizat vreodata. Cei mai mari manageri din lume par sa aiba prea putine lucruri in comun. Ei sunt diferiti ca sex, varsta si rasa. Folosesc stiluri foarte diferite si au teluri distincte. Si totusi, in ciuda diferentelor dintre ei, marii manageri au o trasatura comuna: nu se feresc sa incalce toate regulile considerate sacre de managementul traditional. Ei nu cred ca, beneficiind de o pregatire corespunzatoare, o persoana poate realiza orice si-ar propune. Nu incearca sa-i ajute pe oameni sa-si depaseasca slabiciunile. Nu iau in seama deloc regula de aur. Dimpotriva, chiar au angajati favoriti. Aceasta carte extraordinara explica de ce fac toate acestea. Marcus Buckingham si Curt Coffman de la Gallup Organization prezinta rezultatele remarcabile ale studiului aprofundat pe care l-au facut asupra unor manageri aflati intr-o mare diversitate de situatii. Unii erau in pozitii de top. Altii erau simpli supervizori. Unii lucrau in companii aflate pe lista Fortune 500, altii aveau functii cheie in mici companii. Indiferent de pozitia lor, managerii asupra carora s-a concentrat studiul Gallup au fost invariabil cei care excelau in transformarea in performanta a talentului fiecarui angajat. Pe restransa piata a muncii de astazi, companiile se intrec in a-i gasi si a-i pastra pe cei mai buni angajati, rasplatindu-i cu bani, beneficii, promovari si stagii de instruire. Dar aceste eforturi bine intentionate omit adesea esentialul. Cheia atragerii si pastrarii angajatilor talentati este managerul aflat in ?prima linie“, adica in contact direct cu acestia. Oricat de generos ar fi salariul si oricat de celebru stagiul de pregatire, o companie care duce lipsa de manageri ?in prima linie“ va avea de suferit. Buckingham si Coffman explica modul in care cei mai buni manageri aleg un angajat mai degraba in functie de talent, decat in functie de pricepere sau experienta; felul in care acesti manageri definesc asteptarile legate de fiecare angajat, stabilind mai degraba rezultatele de atins, decat pasii de urmat; modul in care isi motiveaza oamenii, stimuland punctele forte unice ale fiecaruia, in loc de a incerca sa le amelioreze slabiciunile si, in sfarsit, felul in care marii manageri sprijina dezvoltarea cuiva, ajutandu-l sa-si gaseasca locul potrivit, nu neaparat sa urce pe treapta urmatoare a carierei. Si, poate cel mai important lucru este faptul ca, din acest studiu care initial a generat mii de intrebari diferite pentru a sonda opinia angajatilor, au rezultat douasprezece intrebari simple care reusesc sa distinga departamentele cele mai puternice ale unei companii de restul departamentelor. Cartea de fata este prima care prezinta acest fundamental instrument de masurare si care demonstreaza legatura intre opiniile angajatilor si productivitate, profit, satisfactia clientilor si rata profitului.

Robert R. Provine p??e?te f?r? team? pe c?r?ri rareori b?tute de al?i oameni de ?tiin?? – ?n c?utarea sughi?urilor, tusei, c?scatului, str?nuturilor ?i a altor comportamente umane, aparent nedemne ?i de joas? spe??. De?i multe dintre activit??ile prezentate ?n Comportamente bizare sunt contagioase, ?n aceast? privin??, niciunul dintre ele nu ?ntrece c?scatul – p?n? ?i simpla citire a cuv?ntului ne poate face s?-i c?dem prad?. Chiar dac?, adesea, ?l privim ca pe un semn de somnolen?? sau plictiseal?, c?scatul ne ofer? indicii despre devoltarea socialit??ii ?i capacit??ii noastre de a empatiza cu ceilal?i. Implacabilul s?u mecanism de transmitere ne reaminte?te c?, uneori, suntem programa?i neurologic s? ne comport?m ca ni?te simple animale de turm? incon?tiente. ?Deschide?i cartea aceasta, care se bazeaz? pe cercet?ri serioase, dar care se cite?te ca un roman poli?ist, ?i descoperi?i lucruri pe care nici nu vi le-a?i fi imaginat vreodat? despre aceste comportamente.“ Frans de Waal, profesor la Universitatea Emory ?i autor al lucr?rii The Age of Empathy(2009)
