Humanistic Psychology ranges far and wide into education, management, gender issues and many other fields. Ordinary Ecstasy, first published in 1976, is widely regarded as one of the most important books on the subject. Although this new edition still contains much of the original material, it has been completely rethought in the light of postmodern ideas, with more emphasis on the paradoxes within humanistic psychology, and takes into account changes in many different areas, with a greatly extended bibliography. Ordinary Ecstasy is written not only for students and professionals involved in humanistic psychology - anyone who works with people in any way will find it valuable and interesting.

This book examines two moral theories of rights justification and applies them to four social issues: redistributive taxation, affirmative action, pornography, and abortion. It assesses the ethical status of several candidate social policies that continue to be debated in the public arenas.
The transpersonal approach has become of increased interest recently because of the impact of Ken Wilber's work, especially his map of psychospiritual development. Psychology and spirituality are now linked in a very convincing way, where one grows out of the other, distinct but connected. The author of this book has maintained an interest in the transpersonal for the past 20 years and he devotes the entire book to this subject. The book provides an account of the transpersonal as it applies to psychotherapy and counselling - showing where the idea comes from, how it has developed and how it can be used.
