What is Anthroposophic Medicine?
In this concise summary and introduction, Michaela Glöckler presents the therapeutic spectrum of anthroposophic medicine – its scientific basis, diagnostic methods and potential for practice. She gives numerous practical examples of its application and suggestions for treating patients at home. Anthroposophic medicine is an integrative system that combines scientific training and practice with a spiritual understanding of the human being.

Education for the Future
"Almost every day you can read somewhere that a fundamental change is needed in schools and the education system.... With this book it is my deep wish to make a contribution to this." --M. Glöckler, pediatrician How do we accompany and support the development of children and adolescents so that they can be motivated to face the upcoming challenges? What skills are needed to solve the global problems of social injustice and to deal with the consequences of the ecological-economic crisis creatively? What must the education system be like, that it prepares us as adults to be less molded to existing conditions and therefore better able to see what needs to be changed for the future? Which activ...
Beginning Well
The first years of life are fundamental for children's development throughout their lives. If we manage, at least partly, to create the appropriate conditions, then the incredible potential of the child-his willpower, his joy in creativity, his ability to participate fully and his effervescent liveliness-will also remain with him into adulthood. Beginning Well is intended to contribute to your shared journey with the young child. A trove of wisdom on mindful care for the child from birth to age three, based on the teachings of Rudolf Steiner and the theories and practice of Emma Pikler. Full-color photographs offer clear illustrations of empathetic childcare from daily care routines and suitable play materials to play and movement development, sleep and waking rhythms, holistic learning, and more. Essential guidance for young families and for all adults seeking to consciously perceive and care for the young child's seeds. Book jacket.
Education as Preventive Medicine
A great reference book on how the teacher and the doctor can work together to foster good health from birth through the teen years. The contributions to this book are from school physicians, who point in the direction suggested by Rudolf Steiner, while modern research into salutogenesis and resilience has provided validation and corroboration for those ideas. Salutogenesis means "inquiry into the origin of health." This thinking and approach represents a new paradigm and direction for research. How and when something is taught affects the student's lifelong disposition toward health or illness. The Waldorf curriculum is based on an understanding of the development and physiology of children, and healthy development of the physical body is the basis for healthy development of their soul-spiritual individuality. This suggests that it is of great importance for doctors and teachers to work together.

Lecture titles: "The Pedagogical Law and its Expression in Karma and Reincarnation"; "The Image Character and Language of the Physical Body"; "'The Metamorphosis of Growth Forces into Intellectual Forces and the Rhythmic Nature of Astral Activity"; "The Ego Organization as the Great Integrator." In the first lecture, Dr. Michaela Gl�ckler focuses on the "pedagogical law" suggested by Rudolf Steiner in his lecture course published as Education for Special Needs. She illumines the comprehensiveness of tht law, the insight it offers into the working of the fourfold human nature, and the karmic effects of our fourfold activity from one life to another. She then takes us on a path that starts w...
Medicine at the Threshold of a New Consciousness
Michaela Glockler speaks on themes relating to the esoteric path of spiritual development and its therapeutic task for the individual and community. Giving an account of the evolution of the ancient mysteries in relation to medicine, she discusses the application of inner work in outer action, reflecting on modern social and ethical issues such as organ transplantation and the termination of pregnancy. The author addresses primarily those in the healing professions, but this book will be of interest to anyone concerned with the new science of the spirit.
