In this book the author has collected stories, which he has often told in his therapeutic work - during individual therapy sessions with clients as well as in group trainings. These stories have already often contributed to helping people open themselves again and be deeply touched by others.
The book focuses on the history of Elias' most famous and important work "Process of Civilization" in close relation to the historical and biographical context. It starts with Elias' childhood and intellectual background and paints a detailed picture of the development of German sociology in early 20th century up to the World War 2.
Everyone eschews labels yet we all seem to posses them in the minds of legions of politicians, marketers and even the ever-peering government. We are being targeted daily by flaming liberals, left-wing liberals, right-wing conservatives, compassionate conservatives, religious conservatives and liberals, pinko liberals, middle-of-the-road liberals conservatives and liberals, pinko liberals, middle-of-the-road liberals and conservatives and of course by neoconservatives and neoliberals. The search is on for kindred souls -- the types who will open their wallets to support whatever it is the hucksters are peddling. But what to these concepts mean and do their torchbearers grasp the underlying philosophies or do they care? This bibliography lists over hundreds of entries under each category which are then indexed by title an author.
"Alle Menschen handeln kraft ihrer Existenz und ihrer Natur als Menschen. Wir könnten uns keine Menschen vorstellen, die nicht zielgerichtet handeln; die keine Ziele haben, die sie anstreben und zu erreichen versuchen. Es ist diese fundamentale Wahrheit - dieses Axiom menschlichen Handelns -, die den Schlüssel zu unserer Untersuchung bildet. Der gesamte Bereich der Praxeologie und ihr am besten entwickeltes Teilgebiet, die Ökonomik, basiert auf einer Analyse der notwendigen logischen Implikationen dieses Konzepts." -Murray N. Rothbard
Dieses kleine Buch birgt eine Menge an Trost und Ermutigung - nicht nur in diesen außergewöhnlichen Zeiten von Corona. Auch dort, wo wir Zugehörigkeit durch hohe Anpassungsleistungen an gesellschaftliche Forderungen meinen mühsam erwerben zu müssen, erinnert es uns daran, das wir eigentlich schon immer ein Teil des Ganzen waren und sind. Immer schon verbunden und zugehörig. Bereits in den 1950er Jahren war Maslow diesen Erfahrungen bei der Erforschung von seelisch gesunden Menschen auf die Spur gekommen. Begeistert davon, forschte er weiter und entdeckte, dass Gipfelerlebnisse praktisch allen gemein sind, auch seelisch »kranken« Menschen. Im ersten Teil dieses Buches veröffentlichen...

Integrative Gestalt Practice (IGP) is a new approach to understanding and working with complexity and wholeness in people's lives. Amongst the many published books on the market today focusing on the need for specialization and manualization, this book introduces an alternative approach to working professionally with people. By combining basic principles from the gestalt-approach with basic elements of integral theory introduced by Ken Wilber, IGP develops a frontline framework for integrating different forms of theoretical and practical knowledge of human life-processes. This, for instance, can sustain the integration of various psychotherapeutic approaches, and - on a more general level - raise a more common capacity for perspective taking and meaningful disagreements between people. The book shows in various ways how concepts of field theory, self-regulation, contact, awareness and creative experimentation can be directly applied in working with people. The IGP model can be used in many different contexts: in therapy, organisational work, coaching and pedagogy. The book contains a rich combination of theoretical elaborations and practical exercises.
In a radical rethinking of compulsory education,this book, written by a proud parent and,home-educator of four, explodes the myth that,state education is free education, arguing that,institutional education not only bears a,significant financial cost, but is detrimental to,the freedom and autonomy of children, parents, or,members of society alike. The author proposes that,home education is a salient, positive and critical,alternative to paying the costs of institutional,education, as it promotes autonomy and freeom in,education as well as in life.
Mit diesem Buch möchten wir eine bemerkenswerte Frau vorstellen, die in der Entwicklung der Gestalttherapie eine bedeutende Rolle gespielt hat, aber in Deutschland bisher leider kaum bekannt ist: Barry Stevens (1902-1985). Sie war bereits 65 Jahre alt, als sie 1967 zum ersten Mal Fritz Perls und der Gestalttherapie begegnete. Als Fritz Perls 1969 die Gestaltgemeinschaft am Lake Cowichan in der Nähe von Vancouver in Kanada gründete, folgte sie ihm dorthin und begann, zusammen mit rund zwanzig Personen, ihre Gestalttherapie-Ausbildung. Ihre Erfahrungen, Erlebnisse und Überlegungen aus dieser Zeit bilden die Grundlage des hier vorliegenden Buches, das mit Fug und Recht als Klassiker der Gestalttherapie bezeichnet werden kann.
Human action is usually driven by the desire to obtain more for less, and, ideally something for nothing. This has sometimes been called the economic principle. The wish to “get free stuff” pervades all times and places, all sectors of the economy, all ages, and all social backgrounds. The very selfishness for which the market economy is often chided is, at bottom, a universal quest to obtain goods for free. Jörg Guido Hülsmann sets out to explore the boundaries of this endeavor. He investigates the nature, forms, causes, and consequences of gratuitous goods and concludes that they thrive within a free economy. But generosity and gratuitous abundance tend to be undermined and reversed by central banking and the welfare state. Dr Hülsmann is a professor of economics at the University of Angers in France. He is also a Senior Fellow of the Mises Institute and a corresponding member of the Pontifical Academy for Life.
