Grace for the Injured Self by Terry D Cooper,Robert L Randall Pdf

The proposal of Grace for the Injured Self is to help the reader to understand the significance of psychological injuries that we all may suffer. Even under the best circumstances in life, these injuries may threaten our self-cohesion and self-esteem. Cooper and Randall refer to the self psychology approach and perspective of Heinz Kohut -considered by many people as the most significant psychoanalyst since Sigmund Freud- as a way of healing these injuries. The book constantly stresses the empathic presence of another as a source of grace: the empathic responsiveness of others holds our selves together and helps us not to fall apart.

The New World of Self by Charles B. Strozier,Konstantine Pinteris,Kathleen Kelley,Deborah Cher Pdf

There are two foundational thinkers in the history of psychoanalysis: Sigmund Freud and Heinz Kohut. Though Kohut is much less well known, he revolutionized psychoanalytic theory and the practice of psychotherapy. In a burst of creativity from the mid-1960s until his death in 1981, he reimagined the field in a way that made it open, mutual, relational, and inclusive. His conceptualization of a holistic self that is in an ongoing relationship with others represented a paradigm shift from the purely intrapsychic Freudian model of id/ego/superego. In The New World of Self, Charles B. Strozier, Konstantine Pinteris, Kathleen Kelley, and Deborah Cher draw upon their deep knowledge of Kohut's extensive and diverse writing to understand the full significance of his thinking. His self psychology released psychoanalysis from the inherent limits created by its theoretical dependence on drive theory. Kohut instead focused on immediate experience. He also embraced historical themes, leadership and culture, literature from Kafka to O'Neill, the psychology of music, much about art, and a theory of religion and spirituality for modern sensibilities. Acquainting the work of this eminent psychoanalytic theorist to a new generation of clinicians and scholars, The New World of Self unpacks the transformative research of Heinz Kohut and highlights his significance in the history of psychoanalysis.

Fields of Grace by Hannah Luce,Robin Gaby Fisher Pdf

In this remarkable tale of hope and survival, Hannah Luce tells how, as the sole survivor of a terrible plane crash, she came to grips with her faith: “a calamitous, fascinating memoir, written with surprising spiritual sophistication” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). On May 11, 2012, a small plane carrying five young adults, en route to a Christian youth rally, crashed in a Kansas field, skidding 200 yards before hitting a tree and bursting into flames. Only two survived the crash: ex-marine Austin Anderson, who would die the next morning from extensive burns, and his friend Hannah Luce, the daughter of Teen Mania founder and influential youth minister Ron Luce. This is Hannah’s story. In Fields of Grace, Hannah details the investigation of her faith, her coming-of-age as the dutiful daughter of Evangelical royalty, her decision to join her father’s ministry outreach to teens, and her miraculous survival and recovery following the accident. It also serves as a tribute and testament to the lives of the dear friends who perished in the catastrophic plane crash and reveals how their memory continues to inspire all that she does. Here is the “riveting personal account” (Booklist) of a girl who grew up as the daughter of one of the most influential evangelical leaders of our time, who questioned her early religious convictions somewhere along the way and who, from the embers of that doomed plane ride, finally found her faith.

Normal Again by Dennis P. Swiercinsky Pdf

Life-changing traumatic brain injury can be a devastating and frustrating experience for an individual and his or her family. Or, brain injury can be a significant—yet not catastrophic—event that sets the stage for discovering what it means to become “normal” once more. Normal Again: Redefining Life with Brain Injury combines professional neuropsychological information alongside first-person accounts of the brain injury experience and the satisfactions of growing from it. The book provides insights for conquering the cognitive and emotional consequences of brain injury for individuals and families, as well as for educators, therapists, and medical professionals. The experience of brain injury does not have to be permanently dark and lonely. Instead, through an examination of personal values, the affirmation of hope, an on-going appraisal of realistic expectations, and application of specific rehabilitation strategies, life can once again have meaning, joy, and contentment. Normal Again focuses on a compassionate understanding of the personal experience of brain injury, with medical and psychological detail sufficient for gaining a basic understanding of brain injury. This is complemented with practical information about psychological, family, and vocational adjustments—and how to accomplish them—necessary for going beyond the usual scope of brain injury rehabilitation.
