DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Why are many of us compelled to repeat the pain of our past, while avoiding positive experiences that could enrich our lives? In this thought-provoking book, clinical psychologist and theorist Robert Firestone explains how the fantasy bond, an illusion of connection, develops to protect us from negative experiences with parents or caregivers. Later in life, the fantasy bond manifests itself in destructive internal voices and imagined connections to family members, intimate partners, and social groups. Compelling case studies illustrate how these negative voices interfere with true intimacy, and demonstrate how Voice Therapy, a cognitive/affective/behavioral methodology, can be used to counteract destructive internal messages and help individuals embrace the present, instead of living in the past. Challenging our illusions of a merged identity, and moving toward separation and individuation are essential if we are to become fully autonomous human beings. This thorough update of a classic work is particularly timely because it also identifies existential fears that contribute to death anxiety, prejudice, and political divisiveness"--

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen it comes to finding love, are you standing in your own way? Daring to Love will help you identify the internal barriers that cause you to sabotage your love life, open yourself up to vulnerability, and build the intimate, lasting relationship you truly desire. After a breakup, most of us spend a lot of time thinking long and hard about what the other person did to cause it, rather than reflecting on ourselves. It seems self-evident that we want our romantic relationships to work, and that love and long-term commitment are our ultimate goals. But what if our desire for love is actually not as straightforward as our emotions make us believe? What if, instead of pursuing love, we are unconsciously pushing it away? In Daring to Love, Tamsen and Robert W. Firestone offer techniques based in Robert Firestone’s groundbreaking voice therapy—the process of giving spoken word to unhealthy patterns—to help you understand how you are getting in your own way on the quest for true love. Love, the Firestones argue, makes us vulnerable and triggers old defenses we formed in childhood, causing us to sabotage our relationships in myriad subtle—and not-so-subtle—ways. Using the voice therapy strategies in this book, you will be able to identify your own defensive patterns and uncover the destructive messages your critical inner voice is telling you about yourself, your partners, and your relationships. If you’re struggling to cultivate lasting relationships, this book can help you embark on your next romantic journey with more openness and self-knowledge.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDr. Firestone offers vivid and accurate description of a sort of bondage shared by millions of men and women throughout the western world. The work outlines a systematic multidimensional approach to therapy designed to deal with each aspect of the patient's defensive life style and maladaptive behavior: the idealization of parents and family; the critical view of self; the withholding of affectional responses and capabilities; the reliance on self nourishing habits and pain-killers; and the bonds or imaginary connections with mate and children. Particularly notable is the author's description of an innovative and powerful therapy, Voice Therapy, which effectively breaks into these bonds by challenging the patient's negative view of self. Voice Therapy will prove to be an important addition to the clinician's repertoire of therapeutic techniques.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book attempts to link Jung's theories of complex and archetype with processes involved in ego development, human relationship and attachment by using clinical examples. It is one way for therapists to understand Jung's ideas and use them in the clinical setting. The purpose of the book is to evoke questions rather than provide answers. When we ask what it is that transforms people in therapy, we must answer that we do not know. Healing is a mystery. This book provides multiple viewing points into mystery and highlights the undeniable fact that it appears within the clinical hour. The ideas presented in this book are intended to bridge the gap between "clinical" and "archetypal"by focusing on the clinical relationship. Techniques to activate the unconscious are presented in order to help the reader learn to develop a therapeutic space to contain the expression of what the client cannot yet verbalize and support the development of a mutual and shared language based upon the client's own material. The reader is encouraged to practice the individual experiential exercises presented in the last chapter to test the book's ideas and develop both questions and clinical skills based upon the theoretical material. Finally, the reader will be introduced to group experiential exercises that can be used with colleagues interested in working together to develop clinical skills. This book is useful for social workers, nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, counselors and human resource professionals.
