In The Path out of Hell psychotherapist Carolyn Cowan reveals a ground-breaking approach to working with the emotion that hides lurking behind most forms of human suffering: shame. The path you will take through this book will reveal what shame is, how you ended up with it, what you have done with it, and how to create change. It is an epic journey for which Carolyn has a thoroughly road-tested map. The end goal is to ask you to make choice to change and take responsibility for that in a way that you will have never heard, nor conceived of, before.

You don't need an expert to decipher your dreams. Understanding the language of dreams is as natural as grasping the moral of a story or finding beauty in art. In The Dreaming Way, Toko-pa Turner revives an ancient yet revolutionary idea: that dreaming belongs to everyone. She invites us to reclaim our dreaming authority from a psychology rooted in rationalism and return to dreams as a living relationship with Wisdom—the guiding intelligence within and around us.

What if the most important part of your mind is the part you were never taught to understand? The part that chooses who you're attracted to. Repeats the same mistakes. Speaks to you in dreams. And quietly shapes your life from behind the scenes. Every recurring pattern, relationship, dream, and part of yourself you can't seem to change are trying to tell you something. Carl Jung spent fifty years mapping this hidden realm of the psyche. But his original works can feel dense and difficult to read. This collection changes that.

Fromm examines man’s escape into over conformity and the danger of robotism in contemporary industrial society: Modern humanity has, he maintains, been alienated from the world of their own creation. Here Fromm offers a complete and systematic exploration of his “humanistic psychoanalysis.”

Why can't he commit? Many women find themselves asking this question when in love with a man who won't get married, won't stop womanizing, or refuses to give up his sex addictions. Often this kind of man is bound by an unhealthy attachment to his mother. This phenomenon is called mother-son enmeshment. In When He's Married to Mom, clinical psychologist and renowned intimacy expert Dr. Kenneth M. Adams goes beyond the stereotypes of momma's boys and meddling mothers to explain how mother-son enmeshment affects everyone: the mother, the son, and the woman who loves him.

In this best-selling book, one of America's most distinguished psychologists crystallises the great progress that has been made in the development of the techniques and basic philosophy of counselling. Carl Rogers gives a clear exposition of procedures by which individuals who are being counselled may be assisted in achieving for themselves new and more effective personality adjustments. Contemporary psychology derives largely from the experimental laboratory or from Freudian theory. It is preoccupied with minute aspects of animal and human behaviour or with psychopathology.
