Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 70 pages. The current renewed interest in mystical experience, which stems in part from the neuroscience claim that there is a spiritual doorway in the brain, provides the grounds for placing the spiritual legacy of Thomas Merton in the context of natural spirituality, where it fits comfortably. His journals demonstrate clear ly the important part that mystical experience (what he called God-experience) p layed in the amazing spiritual growth and personal transformation he underwent d uring his time as a Trappist monk. It is suggested here that as the door to the supernatural world closes, the door to natural spirituality is opening, and Thom as Merton's legacy could provide great support for such change. If so, his impor tance as a mystic, teacher, and prophet could go on rising.Kenneth Bragan grew up in a small coal mining town near Newcastle in the north of England and now resides in the Lakes District of the south island of New Zealand. He worked for many years as a psychiatrist and developed a particular interest in the heal ing power of writing. …

Softcover. Zustand: Very Good-. No Dust Jacket. First Edition. Ex-library. Library stamps, labels and markings. Covers laminated in clear plastic.; xiii, [1], 122, [2] pages. Illustrated card covers. Page dimensions: 225 x 147mm. Philosophy, psychology. "'Subjectivity: The Hidden and Neglected Side of Human Nature' addresses the important issue of psychology's failure to embrace subjectivity to any great extent. The book also takes up the challenge of formalizing a subjective science based on living data and sure intuition, as suggested by D.H Lawrence. Philosophical and theological understandings of the nature of "being" are explored, as is the emergence of the subjective viewpoint in literature. Both indicate that something has been lacking in our recent understanding of what it is to be fully human. The emergence of subjectivity in psychoanalysis and a psychological reading of Martin Buber's book on existence, I and Thou, are used to indicate possible future directions. Kenneth Bragan grew up in a small coal mining town near Newcastle in northern England. He now lives in the Lakes District of the south island of New Zealand. He graduated in medicine at Edinburgh University and trained as a psychiatrist in New Zealand. During his thirty years of psychiatric practice, he developed a particular interest in the healing power of writing.".…

Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. Giving the Devil His Due: Demonology & the Christchurch Civic Creche Case by Kenneth Bragan. Publisher: Steele Roberts & Associates Ltd, 2009. Review copy (before publishing). Near new softback, no inscriptions. Ken Bragan offers a psychological analysis of aspects of the Christchurch case and places it in a historical context, recalling Salem and the great European witch-hunt. The Christchurch Civic Creche case in which Peter Ellis was convicted of the sexual abuse of children in his care, smoulders in the public mind. Was justice done? Did demonic fears influence the judgement of professionals and others involved? Did scapegoating play a part? Important questions - because false accusations damage the innocent, feed public hysteria and affect many lives. There were many dark sides to the Civic Creche case; this book deepens our understanding of why it all happened, so such events are less likely to occur again. ALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK.

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Women Who Wrote for Their Lives: The Healing Power of Creative Writing was inspired by author Janet Frame, the late New Zealand writer who penned novels, poetry, and short stories, as well as her own powerful autobiography.Frame's dramatic personal history included years of psychiatric hospitalisation. Born in 1924, Frame passed away in 2004. During her early life, patients with severe mental health issues received what today would be considered grim treatment. Days before the author was scheduled for a lobotomy, the procedure was cancelled when her first book of short stories won a national literary prize. Author and retired psychiatrist Kenneth Bragan realizes how powerful writing can be as a therapeutic tool. He says, "Starting with Janet Frame's remarkable recovery to become a writer of international repute after having spent many years in mental hospitals, I went on to find four other well-known writers who had to keep mental suffering at bay through writing."He explores The Healing Power of Creative Writing from a psychiatric perspective in his book."[This book] is a stunning exploration of the intersection of mental health and the arts. Author Kenneth Bragan presents a rigorous analysis of the work and lives of five eminent female authors, demonstrating how their creative processes both reflected and helped alleviate the struggles of their mental illnesses. From Frame to Woolf to du Maurier, Bragan argues…that literary history presents us with unique strategies for betterment…allowing agency and expression to guide us therapeutically to a better understanding of the self… [it is] essential reading for anyone looking for a creative approach to betterment." - Charles Asher, reviewer[LINK ENTFERNT].…

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Kenneth Bragan believes Christianity is approaching a time of change, one that is under pressure from changing world views. The religion is changing from a largely belief-based faith to one that is more experience-based. "I present Thomas Merton as an exemplar of the latter and Laurence Freeman as an advocate of meditative Christianity, which increases in importance as it receives support from developments in neuroscience. These new directions may well bring much needed renewal," he states. The retired psychiatrist wrote New Directions Towards Christian Renewal because he feels that Christianity is no longer doing what it has the potential to do. "This latter mode, that of natural spirituality (standing in contradistinction to supernatural spirituality), is the very future of a Christianity that engages with exegesis and matters of faith without the myopia of literalism, instead allowing for the allegorical and poetic dimensions of scripture to rush forward unfettered by the limitations of historical inexactitudes taken as dogma. Kenneth Bragan brilliantly and persuasively sets forth this new paradigm with rigorous scholarship, biblical analysis, and the passion of the faithful. New Directions Towards Christian Renewal is a remarkable and inspiring work, a piece that is both radically insightful and undoubtedly trailblazing." - Charles Asher, reviewer (About the Author) Born in a small coal mining town near Newcastle, England, Kenneth Bragan now resides in New Zealand, "one of earth's most beautiful places.". …
