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 Dabrowski, as well as previously unpublished biographical pieces analyzing the personalities of Beethoven, Kierkegaard, and Unamuno.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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you know deep emotional darkness as well as peak experiences? Do you often feel like an outcast? Then this book is the gamechanger you need. Crash Baby Crash is a courageous book about autonomy and nonconformism, about personal development and deep-seated empathy, as well as about the driving force of emotions and the importance of the search itself. It is a positive story that can reveal, for many, that the intense life they have lived was nothing but a process of becoming who they can truly be. 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 deals with crisis consciously and directs the reorganization of her personality, fitting level 4 of Dabrowski's theory: the organized multilayered disintegration. 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. For sharing the English version. I've been looking forward to this day since it was first released. --Chris Wells, PhD, LSW - President - D?browski Center Denver I am wild about the book! --Tanja Dierckx, editor in chief of Psychologies magazine, Belgium, psychotherapist

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

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.?

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.
