How can we better understand ourselves and others? The classical concept of the four temperaments - the four personality types characterized as the fiery choleric, the airy sanguine, the watery phlegmatic and the earthy melancholic - has been revered by many significant thinkers over the ages. In a refreshing treatment Dr Childs demonstrates how this ancient doctrine remains relevant to the present day. He shows us how we can recognize the temperaments in our fellow human beings as well as in ourselves, and how to understand their workings. A comprehension of their influence can boost personal development, as well as help improve interpersonal relationships. Conversational in tone and easily digestible, this book features fascinating discussions of the relationships between adults of various temperaments. Childs reviews matters of compatibility in partnership, family and workplace situations, liberally spicing his commentary with amusing examples of likely scenarios. He investigates the origins and manifestations of the temperaments in both their psychological and physiological aspects. There is also a section on the temperaments of children, with helpful and practical advice on dealing with individual issues. DR GILBERT CHILDS attended the Steiner teacher training course at Michael Hall after war service. He later studied at four universities, his doctoral thesis being entitled 'Steiner Education as Historical Necessity'. After teaching at State and Steiner schools he spent twenty years as a tutor in a further education college for severely physically disabled students. He is, in retirement, a full-time author and keen gardener. His published works include "Your Reincarnating Child" and "Truth, Beauty and Goodness".

"A woman who wishes simultaneously to find herself as an individual and to devote herself to motherhood, is caught between two extremes that are hard to reconcile: how to integrate motherhood with one's deepest, personal aims?" Women today face the challenge of integrating the frequently conflicting demands of motherhood, partnership, work, and personal development. Writing from the experience of thirty-three years of marriage and raising four children, Almut Bockemühl is well qualified to understand the predicaments that women face and to offer empathy based on first-hand knowledge. Moreover, this book offers profound, spiritual direction for each woman seeking to meet the challenges of her unique biography. At the heart of the dilemma is family care and the need for individual expression in a creative capacity--self-discovery and achieving personal goals. The natural desire for children does not always mean a love of housework. Bockemühl studies such conflicts in women's biographies and reflects on the history of feminism. She also discusses the mythical roots of motherliness and matriarchy, as well as the mothering instinct itself, exploring the spiritual dimension and meaning of motherhood, the profession of homemaking, successful relationships, and clashes between personal life and career. The central theme of this enlightening handbook is an inspiring path of personal development for mothers and women everywhere.
