      Why is some therapy effective and some disappointing? Amy Mindell says it has to do with the subtle atmosphere created by therapists' unconscious feelings and attitudes. By tapping into their deepest beliefs about spirit, nature, and human development (metaskills), they can become more effective healers and spiritual teachers. Through years of researching Arnold Mindell's work with individuals, couples, and groups, Amy Mindell has identified a number of feeling attitudes which she amplifies here through analogies to Eastern traditions, the teachings of Don Juan, and/or modern physics. She approaches the question of learning Is it possible? How is it done? (She postulates that the therapist, not unlike the client, is on a path of spiritual development.) And she explains how the concept could revolutionize the vast field of psychotherapy. The book has numerous verbatim transcripts, as well as detailed theoretical and poetic explanations. In addition to offering helping professionals an inspiring new approach to working with people, this book will also valuable to anyone interested in discovering the unconscious attitudes that can lead to a deeper self-knowledge and satisfaction in relationships.

      This transcript of a process-oriented psychology seminar provides a theoretical overview, and then continues on with demonstrations of how to work with individuals and groups. The interactions between Drs. Mindell and the seminar participants show that in order to get to the process, it may be necessary to employ trickster-like ways, based on the fabled, wise trickster of a Native American tribe, who did everything differently. His horse went forwards, for instance, but he rode it facing backwards, thereby taking a new approach.

      The innovative concepts and practical methods of Process-Oriented Psychology (process work)—many of which have never been published—are explored in this highly unusual textbook. The goals of process work lay not in traditional psychotherapeutic theory, but rather in the unique wisdom and path of process, or nature, itself. Each of the 32 chapters represents a "class" in which one of the principles is highlighted and investigated from many angles, allowing the author to present the highly structured content in a playful way that is both attractive and useful to helpers and therapists from many different backgrounds.

      Proč je některá terapie účinná a jiná přináší zklamání? Amy Mindell soudí, že to souvisí s křehkou atmosférou, kterou vytvářejí terapeutovy nevědomé pocity a postoje. Když terapeut získá jistý vhled do svých nejhlubších přesvědčení ohledně přírody, lidského rozvoje a jeho spirituálních souvislostí (tedy to, co nazýváme metadovednostmi), může být úspěšnější jako léčitel a duchovní učitel. Amy Mindell zkoumala práci Arnolda Mindella s jednotlivci, páry i skupinami po mnoho let a rozpoznala v ní řadu pocitových postojů, pro něž nachází analogie v tradicích Dálného Východu, v učení Dona Juana i v moderní fyzice. Dotýká se i otázky, jak se lze metadovednostem učit: Je to vůbec možné? A jak to provést? (Autorka předpokládá, že terapeut, stejně jako klient, vlastně nastupuje cestu spirituálního rozvoje.) Ukazuje, jak toto pojetí může zásadním způsobem ovlivnit široké pole psychoterapie. Kniha obsahuje řadu doslovných přepisů terapeutických rozhovorů, podrobná teoretická objasnění daného terapeutického kontextu i analogie z oblasti poezie. Kniha Amy Mindell nabízí nový a inspirativní přístup k řešení problémů. Zároveň je cenným průvodcem pro každého, kdo se zajímá o objevování a průzkum vlastních nevědomých postojů, čímž může napomoci hlubšímu sebepoznání a uspokojivějšímu prožívání ve vztazích.
