    The Drama of the Gifted Child: The Search for the True Self

    Drama of The Gifted Child by Alice Miller“As charming performers who skillfully reflect their parents expectations, far too many children grow into adults driven to greater and greater achievements by an underlying sense of worthlessness. Never allowed to express their true feelings, and having lost touch with their true selves, they act out their repressed feelings with episodes of depression and compulsive behavior. They in turn inflict the same legacy of repression on their own children.”

    The New Primal Scream

    The New Primal Screen by Arthur JanovPrimal therapy involves helping the patient to discover the traumas that are the root causes of this repression, then to access and FEEL these traumas at the deepest level. In this, Janov intends that the patient actually RE-LIVE the trauma involved – unimaginable pains, from a difficult birth process to cold, unloving parents, to unspeakably damaging experiences such as sexual abuse and incest – and react to them and thus release them from the repression system, freeing vital parts of the mind to address the needs of the patient as they exist in the present.”

    The Unidscovered Self

    The Undiscovered Self by Carl Jung“The Undiscovered Self” (1957) “integrates many of Jung’s lifelong social and psychological concerns and addresses the uneasy relation between the individual and mass society. The survival of civilization, he maintains, depends on individual awareness of both the conscious and unconscious aspects of the human psyche. The exploration of the unconscious, in particular, leads to self-knowledge and with it recognition of the duality of human nature, its potential for evil as well as for good.”

    Spiritual Emergency: When Personal Transformation Becomes a Crisis.

    Spiritual Emergency by Stan & Christina Grof“Spiritual experience can feel like bliss, but it can also feel like hell. It can cause hallucinations, seizures, pain, panic attacks, mania, severe depression — all the symptoms of physical and mental illness.
    When people suffer this way, they may feel like they’re going crazy, and their doctors may agree. But the authors of this book think that in many cases, such a diagnosis is mistaken. They urge the adoption of a new category of clinical diagnosis, “spiritual emergency.”
    This book contains fourteen papers outlining different types of spiritual emergence, many of them excellent, written by experts in the field.”

    Stormy Search for the Self: A Guide to Personal Growth Through Transformational Crisis.

    The Stormy Search for Self by Stan & Christina Grof“This work presents a persuasive case for the existence of “spiritual emergencies”–extreme mental states experienced by some individuals in the process of personal metamorphosis. The Grofs (editors of Spiritual Emergency, Tarcher, 1989) denounce Western psychiatric practices that label persons in such states as mentally ill. They instead distinguish between psychiatric disorders and spiritual emergency, offering alternative modes of therapy for the latter.”

    The Hero With a Thousand Faces

    The Hero With a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell“Originally written by Campbell in the ’40s– in his pre-Bill Moyers days — and famous as George Lucas’ inspiration for “Star Wars,” this book will likewise inspire any writer or reader in its well considered assertion that while all stories have already been told, this is *not* a bad thing, since the *retelling* is still necessary. And while our own life’s journey must always be ended alone, the travel is undertaken in the company not only of immediate loved ones and primal passion, but of the heroes and heroines — and myth-cycles — that have preceded us.”

    The Power of Myth

    The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell“Among his many gifts, Joseph Campbell’s most impressive was the unique ability to take a contemporary situation, such as the murder and funeral of President John F. Kennedy, and help us understand its impact in the context of ancient mythology. Herein lies the power of The Power of Myth, showing how humans are apt to create and live out the themes of mythology.”
