This book was released on 2018-03-29 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the Self-Ego Relationship in Clinical Practice: TowardsIndividuation is a volume in the clinical practice monograph series from The Society of Analytical Psychology. This series is intended primarily for trainees on psychotherapy and psychodynamic counselling courses, and for those who are newly qualified. These compact editions will be invaluable to all who wish to learn the basics of major theories derived from the work of Freud and Jung, from an integrated viewpoint. The authors are Jungian analysts trained at the SAP, highly experienced in both theory and practice. The author argues for the profound importance of trusting the unconscious psyche in therapeutic work with adults. She considers various analytical meanings of the term "the self", with reference to a wide range of theorists, and various ways of thinking about the development of the ego. She uses primarily a Jungian model of the psyche from a developmental perspective, based on the assumption that the ego evolves in infancy and childhood out of a primary psychosomatic self.

Download or read book The Three Marriages written by David Whyte and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2009-01-22 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A radical, "crystalline" (Elle) approach to integrating our work, relationships, and inner selves from the bestselling author, poet, and speaker. The author of Crossing the Unknown Sea and The Heart Aroused encourages readers to reimagine how they inhabit the worlds of love, work, and self-understanding. Whyte suggests that separating these "marriages" in order to balance them is to destroy the fabric of happiness itself. Drawing from his own struggles and the lives of some of the world's great writers and artists-from Dante to Jane Austen to Robert Louis Stevenson-Whyte explores the ways these core commitments are connected. Only by understanding the journey involved in each of the three marriages and the stages of their maturation, he says, can we understand how to bring them together in one fulfilled life.

Download or read book I Love Myself written by Shivani and published by BalboaPress. This book was released on 2013-07-02 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When did we stop loving ourselves? Throughout their lives, women have been told to put others first and to judge themselves based on what others think. Too many women race desperately through life, trying to please others. Author Shivani once lived that life. She became an engineer, but that life didnt fulfil her. To make matters worse, she was in an unhappy relationship. Despite a successful career and her work as an international keynote speaker, Shivani, like many women, struggled with issues of self-esteem and self-love. During a trip to Nepal, Shivani realised that in order to know happiness, she had to learn to put herself first. Now a successful speaker author and mentor, she seeks to inspire every woman who has endured low self-esteem, abuse, betrayal, and more. Loving yourself is not a selfish act. By investing in your own selfworth, you can become a better mother, partner, grandmother, businesswoman, or employee. By putting yourself first, you can actually help others more effectively and joyfully. Women who truly love themselves are a great benefit and gift to their families, children, employers, and communities. The relationship you have with yourself is the longest and most important relationship you will have in your life. Are you ready to truly let go of your past? Are you ready to truly believe in yourself? Are you ready to evolve into the loving woman youve always wanted to be?

Download or read book Learn to Love Yourself Enough written by Andrew G. Marshall and published by Health Communications, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Create a wealth of self-worth. In a black-and-white world, there are two types of people—those who love themselves too much (and walk over everybody else) or hate themselves for failing to achieve goals (and probably end up being taken advantage of by others). But, according to British marital therapist, Andrew G. Marshall, neither has a healthy perception of oneself. This is because the secret to self-esteem does not lie in the extremes of love and hate, but in the middle, in the gray area that teaches us to love ourselves just enough: enough to have love to offer others; enough to be open to receive love from others. Only when this kind of balance is created, can self-love exist. Like no other book on self-esteem ever written, Learn to Love Yourself Enough helps readers walk through life on middle ground by revealing the seven factors that, together, add up to a wealth of self-worth. Examine your relationship with your parents: Discover the six types of child-parent relationships and how to accept the legacy of your past. Find Forgiveness: Debunk the two myths about forgiveness and discover what can be gained from negative experiences. Don't let other people put you down: Recognize the five phases of projection and how understanding our own projections lead to better and happy relationships. Re-program your inner voice: Identify the three kinds of negative thinking that work together to undermine self-confidence and whether they are based on fact or just opinion. Set realistic goals: Learn how perfectionism undermines self-esteem. Re-balance yourself: Understand that problems lurk in the extremes and why the middle way is the most successful way. Conquer Fears and Setbacks: Overcome the day-to-day problems that life and other people throw at us.

Download or read book Relationship Sabotage written by William J. Matta and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2006-07-30 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hidden forces—memories of past poor or hurtful relationships—drive repressed feelings and emotions that are often outside our awareness. Though we want to love and be loved, to nurture and be nurtured, those forces can wreak havoc and cause relationship sabotage, destroying couples and even whole families. The scenario is so common, explains therapist Matta, that often people get divorced without even fully understanding why, or what is was that came between them. In many cases, what it was were the lingering but unconscious memories of lessons learned as far back as childhood. These lessons may have no true bearing or justification in the current relationship, yet they can strongly affect it, fueling marital games, extra-marital affairs, addictions, poor parenting practices and a host of other harmful actions. Matta argues that we can learn to recognize these imprints and move past them to build or keep rewarding relationships. His book makes us aware, and gives us the tools to break the cycle.

Download or read book Positive Approaches to Optimal Relationship Development written by C. Raymond Knee and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we get the most out of our close relationships? Research in the area of personal relationships continues to grow, but most prior work has emphasized how to overcome negative aspects. This volume demonstrates that a good relationship is more than simply the absence of a bad relationship, and that establishing and maintaining optimal relationships entails enacting a set of processes that are distinct from merely avoiding negative or harmful behaviors. Drawing on recent relationship science to explore issues such as intimacy, attachment, passion, sacrifice, and compassionate goals, the essays in this volume emphasize the positive features that allow relationships to flourish. In doing so, they integrate several theoretical perspectives, concepts, and mechanisms that produce optimal relationships. The volume also includes a section on intensive and abbreviated interventions that have been empirically validated to be effective in promoting the positive features of close relationships.
