Aesthetics of Change
The fundamental concern of psychotherapy is change. While practitioners are constantly greeted with new strategies, techniques, programs, and interventions, this book argues that the full benefits of the therapeutic process cannot be realized without fundamental revision of the concept of change itself. Applying cybernetic thought to family therapy, Bradford P. Keeney demonstrates that conventional epistemology, in which cause and effect have a linear relationship, does not sufficiently accommodate the reciprocal nature of causation in experience. Written in an unconventional style that includes stories, case examples, and imagined dialogues between an epistemologist and a skeptical therapist, the volume presents a philosophically grounded, ecological framework for contemporary clinical practice.
The Flying Drum
In The Flying Drum, author and therapist, Bradford Keeney, presents evidence of real mojo—magical objects and practices from around the globe that have an authenticated history of healing, transformation, and inspiration. Whether it is a flying drum, dancing doll, vanishing pot, magical drawing, Samurai pillow, divining sticks, mystery book, or Amazonian feather, the mojo of ancient heart-medicine can appear at social service agencies, university clinics, and psychotherapy centers to help transform people’s lives and heal their souls. As a modern mojo doctor and therapist, Keeney helps everyday people with real problems by working with the ancient, living mojo in sacred objects. In this book he offers specific prescriptions for taking a journey that introduces a treasure chest of magical experience capable of bringing authentic magic and wonder into everyday life.

Everyday Soul
"At the height of my career, " writes Bradford Keeney, "I paradoxically began realizing that psychology could not offer the help people needed in their deepest moments of suffering. Its strategies for cure, though intelligent, were not rooted in what spiritual traditions have always known as the great healers: love and compassion." Seeking to offer a viable alternative, Everyday Soul is the first truly ecumenical book that shows how to awaken our minds, bodies, and souls to the fire that burns within us. Dr. Keeney has spent years experiencing spiritual teachings around the world, from the indigenous peoples of North and South America to the Bushmen of the Kalahari. He is one of a handful of people who have been taught the Japanese art of vital energy exchange by Osumi, Sen-sei. Drawing on this experience, he incorporates these healing traditions into stories and practical exercises for creatively turning all the activities of your life--from sleep to relationships to your work--toward cultivating a connection to the Divine, the Sacred, the Light.

Among Christians there is almost complete silence on the subject of the place of shamanism in experiencing the divine, yet shamanic experience is at the root of all mystical commun...
