An insightful contribution to the entire area of pastoral counseling, this book demonstrates how to combine religion and depth psychology in order to provide more effective counseling.
Primary Speech
Prayer is our basic expression of religious belief. It is our personal and most private act of devotion. Words cannot do justice to the feelings, wishes, terrors, pains, or pleasures that we exchange with God. This book sets out to define prayer as both a means of drawing nearer to God everyday and as a coping tool that people can use in order to achieve harmony, balance, and satisfaction in their in their lives.
The Witch and the Clown
The Ulanovs examine the images of the witch and the clown not only as mere literary, anthropological, or historical themes, but as determining much of the complexity of human sexual life. The common notions of male sexuality based upon strength and aggression, and female sexuality upon weakness and submission are thoroughly undone in this analysis.
What Is This Thing Called Jazz?
Despite the plethora of writing about jazz, little attention has been paid to what musicians themselves wrote and said about their practice. An implicit division of labor has emerged where, for the most part, black artists invent and play music while white writers provide the commentary. Eric Porter overturns this tendency in his creative intellectual history of African American musicians. He foregrounds the often-ignored ideas of these artists, analyzing them in the context of meanings circulating around jazz, as well as in relationship to broader currents in African American thought. Porter examines several crucial moments in the history of jazz: the formative years of the 1920s and 1930s;...
Makers of the Modern Theater
Twenty-two plays of the modern theater.
The Wizards' Gate
This book, adapted from the distinguished Hale Lectures, presents material from a woman wrestling with death, showing how inextricably mixed are matters theological and psychological. At a point when her life was blossoming in every way, Nancy was struck down by a terminal brain tumor, which soon robbed her of her speech. She used paintings, many of which are here reproduced, to wrestle with this blow and to communicate what she was slowly discerning in the face of death, something from the 'other side.' The author addresses a variety of related issues, including the place of language in analysis and the role of the feminine mode of being, especially in transference and counter transference.
Cinderella and Her Sisters
Seated in her nest of ashes, Cinderella embodies human misery. The essence of inner and outer nobility, she is the envy of her cruel stepmother and her ugly sisters. Using this familiar story, Ann and Barry Ulanov explore the psychological and theological aspects of envy and goodness. In their interpretation of the tale, they move back and forth between internal and external issues - from how feminine and masculine parts of persons fit or do not together to how individuals conduct their lives with those of the same and opposite sexes, how they conflict, compete, or join harmoniously.
Transforming Sexuality
For your most intimate and significant relationship with the opposite sex, look within yourself, to anima and animus, the archetypal symbols that define and celebrate the presence of the Feminine in men and the Masculine in women. The authors use thier broad backgrounds in psychology, theology, philosophy, and the arts to follow the archetypes from clinical practice into a fascinating range of cultural manifestations, particularly in the world's great literature - from Dante to Pasternak - making this book the most wide-ranging study to date of these central concepts in Jungian psychology.
On the Side of the Angels
Contends that after the Holocaust spirituality requires that self-transcendence be defined primarily as ethical responsibility. Ch. 4 (pp. 89-118), "Ethical Responsibility and Holocaust Rescuers, " concludes that even though theories of rescue do not clearly establish an overt religious motivation, many rescuers were influenced to act by a religious motivation based on ethical responsibility.
The Music and Life of Theodore "Fats" Navarro

It provides biographical and discographical information on this talented musician, whose premature death from tuberculosis at 26 robbed the jazz world of his brilliance.

Through years of study and collecting ephemera, some of which is reprinted here, Leif Bo Petersen and Theo Rehak depict an inclusive history of Navarro and his music. Their information is based on interviews with musicians and people in the music business,...
