Books like The healing connection by Jean Baker Miller


Many popular psychology books imply that women are too dependent on their relationships with others. In The Healing Connection, Jean Baker Miller, M.D., author of the best-selling Toward a New Psychology of Women, and Irene Pierce Stiver, Ph.D., argue that the value women often attach to relationships is not misplaced: Relationships are in fact the source of psychological health. The Healing Connection points to ways of interacting on relationships - whether with family members, friends and colleagues, or therapists - that lead to successful growth and development. Through vivid examples drawn from their own practice as therapists, Miller and Stiver show how women can learn to experience real connection and to overcome psychological problems. They also outline a new kind of psychotherapy in which the therapist is not a neutral figure, but a participant with emotional responses of her own.

In session by 6751755|Deborah A. Lott book cover

πŸ“˜ In session

Why do clients develop such profound feelings for their therapists? Why do so many women in therapy fall in love, and what happens when they do? Deborah Lott sought out the stories of nearly 300 women in therapy to provide this unprecedented perspective on the psychotherapy bond. What they told her dramatically reveals the dilemmas of being in a relationship that is at once so intimate, yet so formally constrained. The first book to help women navigate the therapeutic alliance, In Session offers guidance to those who panic at becoming attached to someone whose time they must buy. In Session goes beyond a simplistic condemnation of sexual transgression to describe the complex gamut of clients' feelings that surround these alliances. In the end, In Session is a profound meditation on the nature of love, and its boundaries, in all human relationships.

Heal your mind by 8368027|Mona Lisa Schulz book cover

πŸ“˜ Heal your mind

Many of us grapple with how to stay happy, calm, and depression-free in a world that seems to get more complex by the minute. How do we keep our wits about us and our memory intact, and remain spiritually tuned in, when our brains and bodies are bombarded with information from so many sources-friends, family, work, media, the Internet-to say nothing of the chemicals and other influences we take in from our environment? This follow-up to the beloved resource All Is Well offers answers. Heal Your Mind continues the three-pronged healing approach that Dr. Mona Lisa Schulz and Louise Hay pioneered together, extending it to conditions, processes, and disorders of the mind including memory, learning disability, addiction, anxiety, and depression. In-depth case studies from the All Is Well Clinic delve into interventions with real patients, where Dr. Mona Lisa uses intuition to pinpoint issues and she and Louise discuss the medical solutions and affirmations that can help restore well-being.
