The Primitive Edge of Experience 1 review
Thomas H. Ogden
Jason Aronson, 1992
Ogden - working with very hurt patients
Ogden shares with us his experience of working with patients who are very difficult to work with or to help. He tells of the first meeting with people who seek his help and the warning stories they tell him about how the therapy will fail or even hurt them or the therapist. It helped me to listen in a different way to my clients and to talk to them about what they told me. This is an excellent ...

Stephen Goldbart, David Wallin

In my personal quest to find romantic intimacy I have read dozens of books. This is simply the most profound, dead-on, flat-out brilliant book I have ever come across. "Mapping The Terrain of the Heart" will help you clarify if your ideals of romantic love are realistic or simply serving as a defense against finding intimacy. It will help you to understand your style of relating - whether you are ...

Understanding the Borderline Mother: Helping Her Children Transcend the Intense, Unpredictable, and Volatile ... 123 reviews
Christine Ann Lawson
Jason Aronson, 2002
Best Book I've Ever Read
I couldn't put this book down - read it in it's entirety in about 14 hours and then passed it along to my sister. I've since returned and bought a second copy for myself (because I knew I wouldn't be getting my original back from her).
This is hands down the best resource for those with a Borderline mother. Not only does it teach the reader about BPD, and the various kinds of BPD mothers, it ...

How to Run a Traditional Jewish Household28 reviews
Blu Greenberg
Jason Aronson, 1988
A Real Cookbook on How to be Jewish!
If there is an aspect of Jewish life, in the household or out, that you would like to know about, this book has it.
It is clear that this was a labor of love, and Ms. Greenburg clearly tackled her task with love, good humour, and an accurate eye for details that would have escaped many writers.
The text is interesting, well-written, flows well, gives you what you want to know or need to ...

Meditation and Kabbalah19 reviews
Aryeh Kaplan
Jason Aronson, 1995
The Jewish Mystical Path, an Essential Stop at an Intermediate Level
This book is not as potentially rewarding to a beginner but requires some knowledge before reading. It is a good idea to know a little bit about the various famed Rabbis, who they were, where they lived, and what they were famous for. It is also a good idea to have some reasonable level of experience of meditation and prayer, and to have had some direct experience with devekut and feel ...

Addiction as an Attachment Disorder4 reviews
Philip J. Flores Ph.D.
Jason Aronson, 2004
Excellent resource
I am really enjoying this book. It has a great premise of the lack of attachment as one of the causes of addiction and reasons for relapse. I would suggest this for anyone in the health care field of addiction or those dealing with it in friends and family.

Family Therapy in Clinical Practice6 reviews
Murray Bowen
Jason Aronson, 1993
Worth a look--Bowen's definitely got something.
This is a well organized, thoughtful book telling the origins and details of Bowen theory. I particularly like the many cases covered in this book. It appears that they got promising results in helping families with schizophrenic children. There is also a chapter where Dr. Bowen talks about his own efforts at differentiating within his family of origin. It's one thing to talk theory--another to ...

Borderline Conditions and Pathological Narcissism (Master Work Series)3 reviews
Otto F. Kernberg
Jason Aronson, 2000
Very deep and profound, explains a lot about personality disorders
If you are reading about narcissism, you will see Otto Kernberg's name cited as a reference more than any other. Dr. Kernberg is THE expert on the subject. Dr. Kernberg's book "Borderline Conditions and Pathological Narcissism" was obviously written for professionals and serious students of psychology, but since he does not have to rely on obfuscation to impress anyone with his credentials, he ...

Awakening to Awe: Personal Stories of Profound Transformation1 review
Kirk J. Schneider
Jason Aronson, 2009
Awesome
This book is a refreshing change from the simplistic self-help books glutting bookstore shelves during the holidays. In Awakening to Awe, Kirk Schneider challenges us to look at the bigger picture, to hold ambiguity and not-knowing, and to reach for wisdom instead of information.

Modes of Therapeutic Action3 reviews
Martha Stark
Jason Aronson, 2000
Another insightful, useful book from Martha Stark
Modes of Theraputic Action continues the train of thought Dr. Stark began in her previous book Working with Resistance. While professional therapists are the target audience for the book I found much here to deepen my understanding of the theraputic process as a client. The clinical vingettes Dr. Stark has chosen to share are particularly helpful. Dr. Stark's writing style is clear, concise ...

Conversion to Judaism: A Guidebook8 reviews
Lawrence J. Epstein

Comprehensive and hopefully helpful guidebook to conversion
Conversion to Judaism is a complex process. Whereas many faiths actively proselytize Judaism's traditional posture has been to discourage converts. In this work Lawrence J. Epstein provides a very useful guidebook for those who would nonetheless persevere in the effort.
He provides important historical information and background in regard to conversion. He discusses the subject in general ...
