Book Description
This book is a reflection of the author's clinical and human experience as a Clinical Psychologist and Somatic Psychoterapist for Couples, as well as of heart experience as a Woman. The book is a divided in two parts. The firts part is shaped as a novel and tells us the story of the therapeutic sessions of several couples, their complaits, requests and suffering, as well as their psychoterapist Laura. The second part is more clinical, with ideas, tools, exercises and important figures that can be very useful for Psichotherapists, Psichologists, Doctors and Students of these areas, as wellas to any Professional in the Social Intervention fielt. It is mostly a book which goal is to expand the awareness, by identifying the "mines and traps" that make it difficult for us to find a balance between being "together" and "apart", as well as "giving" and "receiving" Love with Soul, Heart and Simplicity. "Living is simple; the hard thing is to be simple". The goal was to use a less clinical language, more accessible to everyone, so that the message could be better conveyed, by making the reading easier for all of those that are not related to this area. Being a psychotherapist, and especially a body pychotherapist has to be continuously waching himself, since his body is also a work instrument that gives much information about what is happening in the room or with the client... The psychotherapist needs to know how to move, touch, put, be in resonance, tell the difference between what is his tone of voice, gestures and look. Everything can affect the other. It is a very different scenario than the one that Laura got used to when she was only a clinical psychologist. The more she moves forward in her professional career the more she realizes that leaming has no end and that the evolution must be constant. As a psychologist the meeting was more clinical, more with the purpose of diagnosing, mostly using cognitive tools or test betteries...

Over two thousand years ago, Sun Tzu wrote The Art of War. In today’s struggle to stop war, terrorism, and other global problems, West Point graduate Paul K.

This Book Was a Tree
Author: Marcie Chambers Cuff
Publisher: National Geographic Books
ISBN: 0399165851
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
At no time in human history have we been more disconnected with what lies outside our front doors. Within just a century, our relationship with our surroundings has transformed from one of exploration to one of disassociation. In This Book Was a Tree, science teacher Marcie Cuff issues a call for a new era of pioneers—not leathery, backwoods deerskin-wearing salt pork and hominy pioneers, but strong-minded, clever, crafty, mudpie-making, fort-building individuals committed to examining the natural world and deciphering nature’s perplexing puzzles. Within each chapter, readers will discover a principle for reconnecting with the natural world around them, from learning to be still to discovering the importance of giving back. With a mix of science and hands-on crafts and activities, readers will be encouraged to brainstorm, imagine, and understand the world as inventive scientists—to touch, collect, document, sketch, decode, analyze, experiment, unravel, interpret, compare, and reflect.

Tree of Smoke
Author: Denis Johnson
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 9780374279127
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 638
Book Description
Once upon a time there was a war . . . and a young American who thought of himself as the Quiet American and the Ugly American, and who wished to be neither, who wanted instead to be the Wise American, or the Good American, but who eventually came to witness himself as the Real American and finally as simply the Fucking American. That’s me. This is the story of Skip Sands—spy-in-training, engaged in Psychological Operations against the Vietcong—and the disasters that befall him thanks to his famous uncle, a war hero known in intelligence circles simply as the Colonel. This is also the story of the Houston brothers, Bill and James, young men who drift out of the Arizona desert into a war in which the line between disinformation and delusion has blurred away. In its vision of human folly, and its gritty, sympathetic portraits of men and women desperate for an end to their loneliness, whether in sex or death or by the grace of God, this is a story like nothing in our literature. Tree of Smoke is Denis Johnson’s first full-length novel in nine years, and his most gripping, beautiful, and powerful work to date. Tree of Smoke is the 2007 National Book Award Winner for Fiction.
