BOOK
Psychotherapy Relationships that Work: Therapist Contributions and Responsiveness to Patients
$32.79

About this product:
This book is the result of the American Psychological Association's Division of Psychotherapy (Div. 29) Task Force aimed at applying psychological science to the identification and promulgation of effective psychotherapy. Many efforts to improve therapy have focused on codifying evidence-based treatments, but in doing so have left the psychotherapeutic relationship behind. Clinical experience and research findings underscore that the therapeutic relationship accounts for as much of the outcome as particular treatments. This volume's 25 chapters identify the elements of effective therapy relationships and methods of customizing psychotherapy to each patient.

BOOK
Lasting Contribution: How to Think, Plan, and Act to Accomplish Meaningful Work
Tad Waddington
$5.84

About this product:
Kirkus Reviews said, "A self-help guide that assembles scholarly and scientific material to illustrate why things happen, why people act and how those people can plan actions that make a difference.

Unlike the average motivational guru who seems to have read a single book--the one he or she has just written--Waddington has read them all, so readers will learn what ancient thinkers, religious leaders, modern scientists and rival motivational guides teach about human behavior. ...

A thought-provoking work that bears rereading."

BOOK
Psychology & Christianity : With Contributions by Gary R. Collins ... Et Al
$11.56

About this product:
Psychology has exploded across the academic and popular landscape in the last hundred years. Dozens of schools of thought have arisen and thousands of books have been written on the nature of our personalities, our development, our relationships and our inner well-being.

All of this has been of interest (and sometimes of concern) to Christians because of the importance we place on a correct understanding of human nature. Psychology often seems disconnected from, if not antithetical to, Christian perspectives on life. How do we relate our cherished Christian beliefs about persons to what secular versions of psychology tell us?

In this book are gathered four models of the relationship of psychology and Christianity. David Powlison (Westminster Theological Seminary) offers the biblical counseling model. The levels-of-explanation model is advanced by David G. Myers (Hope College), while Gary Collins (former executive director of American Association of Christian Counselors) introduces the integration model. The Christian psychology model is put forth by Robert C. Roberts (Baylor University).

Each of the contributors responds to the other essayists, noting points of agreement as well as problems they see. The editors also provide an introduction to the history of Christians and psychology as well as a conclusion that considers what might bind the four views together and how a reader might evaluate the relative strengths and weaknesses of each view.

BOOK
On the Musically Beautiful: A Contribution Towards the Revision of the Aesthics of Music
Eduard Hanslick
$7.31

About this product:
Anyone who wants to understand our modern musical prejudices should start here.

There's an older translation available, but this one is much easier to read.

Hanslick was a Viennese music critic who applauded Brahms and criticized Wagner. His thoughts about what makes music pleasurable are collected in this short book. A lot of it won't make sense if you don't know anything about classical music. But if you do, it's fascinating to have a look at arguments defending the critical perspective that says that instrumental music is better than vocal music, that German music is better than Italian (and Mozart better than Verdi), and so on. Basically, it's a music critic giving the original justification for a lot of what the musical establishment now takes for granted. So it's a fascinating look at how canon formation is justified.

Sigmund Freud

About this product:

BOOK
Reincarnation and Biology: A Contribution to the Etiology of Birthmarks and Birth Defects Volume 2: Birth Defects and Other Anomalies
Ian Stevenson
$142.30

About this product:
Based on some 30 years of research on people who claim to remember past lives, this work encompasses the full spectrum of theory and case study on the subject to date. Early in his investigations, Stevenson became aware that some who remember past lives had birthmarks or birth defects that corresponded to wounds, usually fatal, on the person whose life was remembered. Writing as a scientist and a Western medical professional, Stevenson realized that the idea that wounds on a deceased person can influence the embryo of a later-born baby is subversive to many assumptions of modern biology. This work provides as many cases as could be found, worldwide, and is bolstered by numerous photographs.
