Creativity and the Long Emergency
Tackling the many threats facing the world will require creativity, both for devising new products and services and for communicating effectively with those who deny the emergency or who actively obstruct change. Demonstrating the breadth of creative endeavors and their relevance to the crisis, the author shows that the arts and humanities have historically contributed to social change and are doing so today. Engaging in play and exploring the wi…
The need to treat childhood obesity with holistic methods
Childhood obesity can lead to serious health problems and has become a US health crisis. Although multiple factors contribute to childhood obesity, rarely is it treated in a multifactorial way. Pediatric endocrinologists are among the most qualified health professionals in this area, and their perceptions about multifactorial approaches, and the barriers prohibiting their use, for treating childhood obesity were explored. A mixed-method design co…
Transpersonal and Other Models of Spiritual Development
This chapter focuses on exploring various models of spiritual development. It first addresses\nphilosophical dilemmas underpinning the concept of spiritual development by questioning\nwhether these can be addressed without metaphysical assumptions embedded in religious\nworldviews and thus understood in any consensual way across different historical and\ncultural contexts. Traditional models of spiritual development are then reviewed, drawing\nfr…
Consuming the Earth
Eating disorders, which involve the misuse of vast quantities of food by millions of people, are described as a direct threat to the environment. Eating disorders are also suggested as a metaphor for the psychopathology underlying our environmental crisis. In this article, the scope of the problem, its psychological and economic roots, its similarity to the environmental crisis in general, and possible solutions are described
Self-Sealing Doctrines, the Misuse of Power, and Recovered Memory
The self-sealing doctrine, a defensive maneuver used to protect cherished beliefs from disconfirmation, is discussed. Most evident in doctrinaire religious groups, the self-sealing doctrine may also appear among scholars and practitioners, and it can be discerned on both sides of the heated debate over recovered memory. The author advocates critical thinking and a willingness to test rather than protect cherished beliefs
Eating Disorders and Personal Constructs
Drawing upon clinical experience with 33 eating disordered women, the author describes beliefs common to these individuals which appear to contribute to their misuse of the eating function. Habits of perceiving the world in either/or dichotomies, if-then perils and detrimental comparisons are described
A Homeopathic Model of Psychotherapy
This article sets forth a theoretical model for psychotherapy. Distinction is made between allopathic techniques, which oppose the problem, and homeopathic techniques, which prescribe the problem as a means of treatment. Five techniques are reviewed: psychoanalysis, catharsis, Gestalt awareness techniques, Rogerian acceptance, and paradoxical intention strategies. The literature of each is briefly reviewed and concepts that support the thesis of …
Theory as Self-Portrait and the Ideal of Objectivity
This article addresses the epistemological issue of the theorist's subjectivity. I suggest that theories of human nature reflect the theorist's personality as he or she externalizes it or projects it onto humanity at large. This article extends this familiar proposition by proposing that there are two forms of externalization: static externalization, in which the theorist projects outward his or her own structures, and dynamic externalization, in…
