| ANT & THE ELEPHANT : Leadership for the Self: A Parable & 5-Step Plan to Transform Individual Performance [Vince Poscente] A renowned speaker, business consultant, record-setting speed skier and Olympian, Vince Poscente believes in the enormous potential of the unconscious mind. Poscente likens the dynamic between the conscious and subconscious minds to an ant and an elephant: Our minds are separated into two distinct functions -- the conscious and subconscious elements. Our ant is the intentional part of the brain, but our elephant is the instinctual, impulsive part of the brain that houses emotions and memories and even guides the body to perform vital functions. While we tend to know our conscious minds -- our ants -- rather well, we often overlook the power of our elephantine subconscious minds. When we do, unfortunately, we squander a wellspring of human potential. { 115pp, 155x230mm, September 2006; HB, £13.50, 1893430146:9781893430143 , Greenleaf Book Group (Be Invinceable Group) } |

| COMPANIONING THE BEREAVED : A Soulful Guide for Caregivers [Alan D Wolfelt PhD] Renowned author and educator Alan Wolfelt redefines the role of the grief counsellor in this guide for caregivers. His new model for 'companioning' the bereaved gives a viable alternative to the limitations of the medical establishment, encouraging counsellors and other caregivers to aspire to a more compassionate philosophy. This approach argues that grief need no longer be defined, diagnosed, and treated as an illness but rather should be an acknowledgement of an event that forever changes a person's worldview. Through careful listening and observation, the caregiver learns to support mourners and help them help themselves heal. { 192pp, 155x230mm, October 2005; HB, £19.99, 1879651416:9781879651418 , IPG (Companion Press) } |

| DIVINE DUALITY : The Power of Reconciliation Between Women & Men [William Keepin, Ph.D.] This book demonstrates a revolutionary type of healing work between men and women, known as "gender reconciliation". Based on 15+ years of development, this process has created remarkable results within groups as diverse as nuns and priests in the Catholic Church, and most recently with members of the South African Parliament. The creative and compassionate methods designed by the author and his team at the Satyana Institute (of Freeland, Washington) take a broad leap beyond other approaches that are more oriented to addressing the needs of the couple. They also go further than traditional psychological/dialogue forms of interaction between the sexes. Rather, Divine Duality describes what can happen when a transpersonal/spiritual dimension underlies such work. By setting a context of forgiveness and mutual appreciation of the sacredness of life, the women and men of a group or institution are empowered to jointly confront the realities of gender oppression and conditioning. No other book currently deals with this subject with the depth of insight and proven results presented here. { 300pp, 155x230mm, November 2007; PB, £13.50, 1890772747:9781890772741 , Hohm Press } |
| DREAM LANGUAGE : Self-Understanding Through Imagery & Color [Robert J Hoss MS & David Feinstein PhD] A fast, easy method for dream interpretation is introduced in this guide that links color and visual imagery in dreams to the activity of the sleeping brain. Contributions from 16 dream experts report on psychological and physical evidence that dreams create their own logic -- operating not with words, but with visual images and colors -- and that these associations provide a key to waking emotions in personal, professional, and group dreamwork. Self-help exercises such as The 6 Magic Questions are included for readers looking to decode colors and symbols and uncover hidden emotions in their own dreams, and the book also covers topics such as nightmares, paranormal dreams, and dreams of spiritual enlightenment. { 256pp, 170x230mm, September 2006; PB, £13.50, 0972520716:9780972520713 , IPG (Innersource) } |

| ELECTRA : Tracing the Feminine Myth Through the Western Imagination [Nancy Cater] Represents the first sustained attempt to articulate from a Jungian perspective the relevance of the Greek mythic figure of Electra to the psychology of contemporary young girls and women. Describing Electra as a dark puella identified with Saturn, trapped in mourning for her lost father and hatred of her mother, Cater explores how this myth may appear in the lives of women today and how they may deepen their understanding of it. { 136pp, 155x230mm, April 2006; PB, £13.50, 1882670981:9781882670987 , AtlasBooks (Spring Journal Books) } |
| FIELD, FORM & FATE : Patterns in Mind, Nature & Psyche, Revised Edition [Michael Conforti] C. G. Jung emphasised the deep link to the physical world that exists for the collective unconscious and its archetypes. Our dreams and symbols, as well as the patterns of our behaviour, are shaped by the fact that we are creatures of a material universe. Michael Conforti's research has been directed to understanding the nature of these links and patterns in the light of the new sciences -- quantum theory, chaos theory, self-organisation, and new biology. Conforti's book successfully integrates this material to offer a new, exciting challenge to psychotherapy. It demonstrates that the study of consciousness cannot neglect the insights of the sciences and in doing so promises a unified view of mind and matter. { 180pp, 155x230mm, April 2006; PB, £13.50, 188267040X:9781882670406 , AtlasBooks (Spring Journal Books) } |

| HELLS & HOLY GHOSTS : A Theopoetics of Christian Belief [David L Miller] Offers a learned and yet playful post-modern re-appropriation and reanimation of two central Christian themes: Christ's descent into hell and the resurrection of the dead. The move from a theological to a theo-poetical perspective reveals the pervasive archetypal anxieties and hopes that underlie the traditional dogmas and enables us to recognise how central these same motifs are in Greek mythology and in some of the most powerful twentieth-century poetry. We may be amazed to discover how these seemingly obsolete notions, if understood metaphorically rather than literally, can illuminate and deepen our own experiences of despair and of living with "ghosts" from our past that seemingly will not let us go. { 238pp, 155x230mm, April 2006; PB, £13.50, 1882670973:9781882670970 , AtlasBooks (Spring Journal Books) } |

| NEW GULLIVERS : Shaping the Mindscapes, Soulscapes, & Landscapes of a New World [Stephen Banick] Davy Jones' Locker. Aladdin's Lamp. The Grand 'Bizarre'. what if all these adventures were just waiting for you to stumble upon in some as yet unexplored land far away -- or maybe right in your own back yard? In The New Gullivers, seasoned traveller, commentator and entrepreneur Stephen Banick cleverly bridges past and present by encouraging us to become 'New Gullivers' -- committed explorers of the 'New World', the Age of Globalisation. True travel, Banick tells us, is much more than hop-scotching over the latitudes and longitudes of Landscapes; it also requires navigating the contours of Mindscapes and Soulscapes. Banick whets the reader's appetite for a whole feast of ambitious inner and outer opportunities for expanding our mental, physical and spiritual horizons. In a world ever-more defined by colliding tectonic plates and crashing tsunami waves, he appeals to the secret desire of 'Everyman' to Feel better, Have more, and Be more. States Banick: "The gullibility of the original Gulliver won't serve us in this New World. Still, those dragons on the horizon often turn out to be mirages -- even, friends." In this first of seven cleverly wrought books that comprise an introduction to The Gulliver Project, Banick & Co. will be there to make sure you've packed your duffel bags with everything you'll need. Like Archimedes, he challenges us to 'lift the world' by first changing ourselves; and he remind us that we have everything we need to make this daunting age 'The Best of Times'. { 158pp, 155x230mm, October 2007; PB, £10.99, 0977715108:9780977715107 , R&D (Gulliver Publishing) } |
| NORTHERN GNOSIS : Thor, Baldr & the Volsungs in the Thought of Freud & Jung [Greg Mogenson] C.G. Jung regarded psychology to be a modern form of myth. Shaped by archetypal structures, psychological theories, he maintained, do not simply explain our psychic life in the manner of a science, they also give expression to the soul. Inspired by this insight, the present book examines the writings of Freud and Jung in the light of Norse mythology. Ideas such as psychic reality, ego-ideal, participation mystique, and kinship libido are seen as mythological figures, the figures of Thor, Baldr, and the Volsungs. Illumined in this way, the founding texts of psychoanalysis and analytical psychology are shown to be a veritable pantheon of God-terms. Jung’s theory of the archetype is read as a variant of the old stories concerning Thor’s encounters with the giants. Freud’s theories of a death instinct, repetition compulsion, mourning and the ego-ideal are read as a variant to the tale of Baldr’s death. And the fractious relations of Freud, Jung and Sabina Spielrein are seen as reflecting the saga of the Volsungs. Imaginative and scholarly, Northern Gnosis will be valued by the psychoanalytic reader for its fresh appreciation of Freud and Jung as makers of the myths that continue to inform our minds. { 140pp, 155x230mm, April 2006; PB, £13.50, 1882670906:9781882670901 , AtlasBooks (Spring Journal Books) } |
| OEDIPUS -- THE UNTOLD STORY : A Ghostly Mythodrama in One Act [Armando Nascimento Rosa] Where Freud made incest the defining feature of the Oedipus complex, Rosa, inspired by C G Jung, looks beyond the complex to its archetypal roots. Probing deeper into the tragic hero's family history, Rosa finds the source of the doomed man's fate in the now-forgotten crime of his father, Laius. namely, Laius's abduction and attempted seduction of Pelops's beautiful young son. Chrysippus, long before Oedipus was born. { 103pp, 155x230mm, May 2006; PB, £13.50, 1882670388:9781882670383 , AtlasBooks (Spring Journal Books) } |

| OTHER WITHIN : The Genius of Deformity in Myth, Culture, & Psyche [Daniel Deardorff] Hailed by scholars as a major breakthrough in the field of myth and psychology, this brilliant new study by Daniel Deardorff proposes that a certain poetic consciousness is generated by those who inhabit societal and psychic margins. This consciousness is identified as 'Trickster-wisdom', a subversive virtue that provides creative and innovative benefits to the very same society that invalidates and excludes its so called 'misfits'. { 213pp, 155x230mm, September 2005; PB, £11.99, 1883991595:9781883991593 , Caveat Press (White Cloud Press) } |

| POSITIVE MIND POWER : Lessons That Guide & Inspire [Rakesh K Mittal] According to the author, the human mind has a tremendous capacity for acceptance as well as repulsion. When we accept a situation with a positive frame of mind, answers come in the natural course, while the situation gets worsened when we approach it with a negative frame. Thus a positive mind has immense power and this fact is amply reflected in his experiences. { 165pp, 155x230mm, October 2005; PB, £5.99, 8120728947:9788120728943 , Sterling Publishers PVT Ltd } |
| POSITIVE MIND THERAPY : Lessons That Guide & Inspire [Rakesh K Mittal] The common concept of humanity revolves round the personality of an individual and that too is often narrowed down to the physical person which is objective and perceivable as an essential tool for social behaviour. But what lies under this exterior is a whole mass of emotions, responses and reactions which activate the physical personality or else the external form is nothing but a mass of dead and inert matter. These two layers of the human personality are clearly discernible even to an outsider. But there is a subtler undercurrent of ideas, thoughts and impressions which serve as a causative layer to the internal personality and from which the emotions responses and reactions arise. In this book the author has compiled his feelings and experiences at the causative layer depicting how every event of life is a step towards evolution. { 125pp, 140x215mm, January 2006; PB, £5.99, 8120728955:9788120728950 , Sterling Publishers PVT Ltd } |
| PSYCHE & THE SACRED : Spirituality Beyond Religion [Lionel Corbett] This book describes an approach to spirituality that is based on personal experience of the sacred rather than upon any pre-existing religious doctrine or dogma. Using the language and insights of depth psychology, it describes the intimate relationship between sacred experience and the psychology of the individual, revealing the seamless continuity of personal and transpersonal levels of the psyche. This work contributes to the emergence of the new myth that is arising alongside the Judeo-Christian tradition. { 288pp, 155x230mm, May 2007; PB, £15.99, 1882670345:9781882670345 , AtlasBooks (Spring Journal Books) } |
| RAIDS ON THE UNTHINKABLE : Freudian & Jungian Psychoanalyses [Paul Kugler] Freudian and Jungian approaches to psychoanalysis have long been characterised by a historical enmity, acutely felt differences having widened into strikingly different styles of discourse. Kugler demonstrates how a constructive "dialogue" between Freudian and Jungian psychoanalysis is possible and clinically valuable. { 160pp, 155x230mm, April 2006; PB, £13.50, 1882670914:9781882670918 , AtlasBooks (Spring Journal Books) } |
| SEEDS FOR THE SOUL : Living as the Source of Who You Are [Chuck Hillig] Of the thousands of books in the modern spiritual marketplace, few state their message both simply and profoundly.

| TRANSCENDING FEAR : Battling the Enemy Within [Brian Germain] "Transcending Fear" addresses one of the most significant challenges: the process of recognising and moving beyond fear. In an age in which fear has brought the world to the brink of destruction, understanding why we contract in fear and how we can go beyond this instinctive reaction is essential for our survival as a species. As a World Champion skydiver, test pilot and psychologist, Brian Germain offers a unique personalised perspective on the phenomenon of fear. Reflecting on his many intense experiences with fear, Germain sorts through the most current psychology research on fear, and presents the ways to de-escalate the emotional response in provocative situations. The fundamental premise of the book is simple: Fear makes us stupid. If we are to transcend the limitations imposed by a contracted perspective, we must develop our ability to remain calm. Specific methods for relaxing in dangerous situations are covered in detail, as well as scientific evidence to support the reasons for this unusual and powerful approach to dealing with fear. { 238pp, 140x215mm, October 2007; PB, £13.50, 0977627705:9780977627707 , AtlasBooks (Germain) } |
| UNDER THE INFLUENCE : Reflections of Albert Ellis in the Work of Others [Emmett Velten, Ph.D. (ed)] With prominent contributors -- including Albert Ellis, considered the most famous living psychologist and developer of the original cognitive behaviour therapy -- this collection of essays establishes the primacy of Ellis's writings on a number of topics in psychotherapy. In doing so, it brings down to earth the claims of some of the more profound error-makers and suggests the plausible, rather than the claimed, source of their insights and their real place in the psychotherapy family tree. Discussions on treatment of anxiety disorders, marital therapy, biological influences, evolutionary psychology, dialectical behaviour therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy are included. Contributors include Emmett Velten, Ricks Warren, and Diana R. Richman. { 258pp, 155x230mm, September 2007; PB, £9.99, 188436537X:9781884365379 , IPG (See Sharp Press) } |

| WHO IS IT THAT CAN TELL ME WHO I AM? : The Journal of a Psychotherapist [Jane Haynes; Foreword by Hilary Mantel] "This is not the first book where a psychotherapist opens her case files, but it is surely the first one where the reader feels so welcomed on an equal basis. Jane Haynes doesn't keep from us her own story -- her strange childhood with its enfolded and sequential mysteries -- and she explains how the process of psychotherapy has worked for her. I recommend it to anyone concerned with the life of the imagination and the healing arts." -- Taken from the Foreword by Hilary Mantel. Jane Haynes is interested in the practice of psychotherapy as the expression of a therapeutic dialogue.

| WORLD TURNED INSIDE OUT : Henry Corbin & Islamic Mysticism [Tom Cheetham] "The first book in English devoted to the great French author Henry Corbin, Tom Cheetham's The World Turned Inside Out is an excellent introduction to and survey of Corbin's work and thought. Corbin is unique among 20th century scholars of Islam in his ability to imaginatively enter the world of the Sufi gnostics and to apply their insights to the modern World. Cheetham's book provides us with a bracing and stimulating overview of this seminal author's work and its implications: this is a book for all who suspect that, to paraphrase Plato, there is more to life than that which can be grasped in one's hands." -- Arthus Versluis, editor of Esoterica and author of The Esoteric Origins of the American Renaissance { 210pp, 155x230mm, January 2003; PB, £13.50, 1882670248:9781882670246 , AtlasBooks (Spring Journal Books) } |
| YOU CAN READ ANYONE : Never Be Fooled, Lied to, or Taken Advantage of Again [David Lieberman PhD] Have you ever wished you could peer into someone's mind to find out what he or she is really thinking? Now you can... really. This book is not a collection of recycled ideas about body language. It does not suggest that a woman's hairstyle will give us unprecedented access into her soul, neither does it draw wildly ambiguous generalities about people based on our intuition or gut instinct, nor does it reach conclusions based on how she folds her hands or he ties his shoelaces. The book contains specific, proven psychological techniques that can be applied instantly to any person in just about any situation. Dr Lieberman has demonstrated the ease and accuracy of these techniques on hundreds of television and radio programs.
