Book Synopsis Personality-Shaping Through Positive Disintegration by : Kazimierz Dabrowski
Download or read book Personality-Shaping Through Positive Disintegration written by Kazimierz Dabrowski and published by Red Pill Press. This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For psychologist and psychiatrist Kazimierz Dabrowski, personality is not a given - it must be consciously created and developed by the individual. In his second English-language book, Personality-Shaping Through Positive Disintegration, first published in 1967, Dr. Dabrowski presents a comprehensive treatment of personality that is still relevant, perhaps more so today than when it was first written. Here Dabrowski describes personality's individual and universal characteristics, the methods involved in shaping it, and case studies of famous personalities (including Augustine and Michelangelo) demonstrating the empirical and normative nature of personality development. Included in this edition are the original introduction, written by former APA president O. Hobart Mowrer, an appendix detailing a study on gifted children and outstanding abilities conducted by Dr. Dabrowski, as well as previously unpublished biographical pieces analyzing the personalities of Beethoven, Kierkegaard, and Unamuno. Grounded in Dabrowski's theory of positive disintegration, Personality-Shaping introduces the concepts at the heart of the theory and at the heart of human potential, creativity, social service, inner conflict, mental illness, and personal growth. Dabrowski's all-embracing perspective is at once a fresh alternative to the one-dimensional theories and trends pervasive in the field of psychology, and a full statement in its own right of all those aspects of human nature too often marginalized, ignored, or denied - a revolutionary and heartfelt product of Dr. Dabrowski's incisive observations and all-embracing vision.

Download or read book Rumi's Daughter written by Muriel Maufroy and published by Random House. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rumi is now acknowledged as one of the great mystical poets of the Western world, with huge sales of the many collections of his poetry. Not much is known about his life except that he lived in thirteenth-century Anatolia (now Turkey), had a great spiritual friendship with a wild man called Shams, brought an adopted daughter into his family, and was distraught when Shams finally disappeared. Rumi's Daughter is the delightful novel about Kimya, the girl who was sent from her rural village to live in Rumi's home. She already had mystical tendencies, and learned a great deal under Rumi's tutelage. Eventually she married Shams, an unusual husband, almost totally absorbed by his longings for God. Their marriage was fiery and different and, in the end, dissolved by Kimya's death - after which Shams vanished. Rumi's Daughter tells Kimya's story with great charm and tenderness. Well written and thought-provoking, it is sure to draw comparison with Paolho Coelho's The Alchemist, and also to add something fresh and new to what is so far known about Rumi.

Book Synopsis Social Skills of Children and Adolescents by : Kenneth W. Merrell
Download or read book Social Skills of Children and Adolescents written by Kenneth W. Merrell and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This scholarly yet highly readable and practical text systematically covers the importance, development, assessment, and treatment of social skills of children and adolescents. Combining scientific rigor with a highly approachable and readable style of writing to create a practical and unique book, this volume provides a comprehensive overview of the increasingly important topic of child and adolescent social skills. A wide variety of tables, figures, and practical step-by-step guides enhance the material presented, making it particularly useful for practitioners while offering an extensive array of recent research and models of interest to researchers. The authors present a solid foundation of scientific knowledge written in a manner accessible to nonscientists and having ample practical implications and examples for educational and clinical practice. The book is divided into two parts--the first features a foundation for conceptualizing and assessing child and adolescent social skills, whereas the second focuses on the arena of intervention. An up-to-date and unique addition to the literature, this volume will be of interest to professionals who work with or study children across several disciplines including school and clinical child psychology, special education, counseling, and social work. Although many books and other professional materials on the social competence of children and adolescents are presently available, the knowledge regarding these social skills is expanding rapidly, and there is a tremendous need to keep it current. This book helps meet this need by not only synthesizing a great deal of recent work in the field, but also by providing new information and evidence that has not yet been published. It also bridges an important gap that sometimes exists between research and practice. For instance, some books on child and adolescent social skills are clearly written for the academician or researcher, and may have little apparent application for the clinician or practitioner. Other materials are written as practical assessment or intervention guides for the clinician/practitioner, yet sometimes lack supporting evidence and rationale. This book is aimed at both arenas.

Book Synopsis Misdiagnosis and Dual Diagnoses of Gifted Children and Adults by : James T. Webb

This book was released on 2005 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our brightest, most creative children and adults are often being misdiagnosed with behavioral and emotional disorders such as ADHD, Oppositional-Defiant Disorder, Bipolar, OCD, or Asperger?s. Many receive unneeded medication and inappropriate counseling as a result. Physicians, psychologists, and counselors are unaware of characteristics of gifted children and adults that mimic pathological diagnoses. Six nationally prominent health care professionals describe ways parents and professionals can distinguish between gifted behaviors and pathological behaviors. ?These authors have brought to light a widespread and serious problem?the wasting of lives from the misdiagnosis of gifted children and adults and the inappropriate treatment that often follows.? Jack G. Wiggins, Ph. D., Former President, American Psychological Association

This book offers you the ultimate tools to begin your long journey of self-examination. Crash Baby Crash is an eye opener, the ideal introduction to the ideas of Dabrowski. WORDS OF PRAISE This is the first book about Dabrowski that I have seen that captures the essence and heart of his theory. It is presented step-by-step how it impacted the author’s quest for growth. I highly recommend this book as an indispensable companion to Dabrowski’s works. --William D. Tillier , Master of Science, University of Alberta, D?browski’s student. He published several books on his legacy and curator of PositiveDisintegration.com Crash baby Crash is an accessible and lively dive into positive disintegration. The literary style fits the emotional exploration. Beautiful insights into multilayeredness! --Lotte van Lith, Dabrowski specialist, Netherlands (keynote speaker Dabrowski congress 24) This book is not a self-help book, but there are questions in the book and lists for recognition that confirm the feeling that you as a reader belong, that it is about you. Burnout is discussed extensively as a form of disintegration as intended by Dabrowski, which is why I continue to belong to the target audience of readers even without a label. Clearly, theory must be lived, not just studied. --Truus van der Kaaij, Specialist in Gifted Education ECHA, Netherlands Chris' book is more than a life manual; it is a philosophy of life. This book is a beacon of light, a message of hope and incredibly intelligently written. --Jakobien Huysman, Spain, journalist, yoga teacher Chris Van Camp describes psychic processes in a very lucid way.

She touches the heart of psychotherapeutic practice. --Journal of Clinical Psychology Belgium, author Marc Van Mechelen, client-centered therapist Thank you for writing this book.

Book Synopsis Personality Development Through Positive Disintegration by : William Tillier
Download or read book Personality Development Through Positive Disintegration written by William Tillier and published by . This book was released on 2018-10 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his Theory of Positive Disintegration, Polish psychiatrist and psychologist Dr. Kazimierz Dąbrowski (1902-1980) proposed an approach to personality development in which crises are not only necessary but fundamental in creating opportunities for individual development. Crises force our focus inward, leading us to challenge our established beliefs, roles and routines. While crises often resolve with a return to the status quo, recovery is sometimes stymied and posttraumatic stress results. In other cases, however, the outcome is posttraumatic growth. The individual experiences a process of disintegration, a loosening of the components of personality that allows for an examination and re-evaluation of the self. One rebuilds after a crisis, implementing conscious and deliberate changes to reshape the personality toward increased autonomy, uniqueness and the realization of one's ideal personality. This work provides a comprehensive yet balanced overview of Dąbrowski's Theory of Positive Disintegration in its historical and present-day contexts and demonstrates its continued relevance in today's most vital areas of psychology, including posttraumatic growth, education, neuroscience, and personality theory.
