This book is presented in three sections: I. The rise and demise of a psychotherapist, a personal story of concluding that the scientific assumptions on which it is based prevent psychotherapy from facilitating true healing and is institutionalized co-dependence; II. a discussion of the living in process model developed by Schaef to facilitate true healing at all levels of being and; III. a philosophical exploration of mechanistic and post modernist science and their relationship to the healing professions.

Eye-opening analysis of what we are doing wrong.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beyond Therapy, Beyond Science: A New Model for Healing the Whole Person (Hardcover)
Recommended for anyone looking for growth and spiritual healing, and who may wonder why current models of helping have not done so. The author challenges what is happening and offers practical alternatives gleaned from her life and those of her clients, while on the path of growth and recovery.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Felt Like a Pair of Brown Loafers in a World of Tuxedos?,
By
This review is from: Beyond Therapy, Beyond Science: A New Model for Healing the Whole Person (Paperback)
This book explains how fitting into this world can be costly and painful. If you have never 'fully adjusted' to the demands of our modern world or have delved into "self-help" and/or therapy and found no durable answers, this book suggests that it is because of our addictive relationships to the world. This is a convincing critique of the folly of our present worldview. This is a clarion call to trusting your own processes on your own journey through life.Caveats: I could have edited this book and made it a much tighter presentation of her points; read the author's "When Society Becomes an Addict" first perhaps - just what in the hell are Lincoln Logs and Holograms? But no matter, she pulls in a lot of exciting material and personal experiences. It's a great ride.

2.0 out of 5 stars
More like an informercial for her other book,
By WJW "lonefox" (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beyond Therapy, Beyond Science: A New Model for Healing the Whole Person (Hardcover)
Loved the concept, but it was more like an infomercial for her other book. It never gets to the meet of things.
