5.0 out of 5 stars
Very, very highly recommended!,

This review is from: The Disowned Self (Mass Market Paperback)
It's a pity this book is out of print. It is one of Nathaniel's Branden's best; although I highly recommend all of his works, including The Six Pillars of Self Esteem, Honoring the Self and Taking Responsibility. His focus on self-esteem and self-responsibility are never esoteric but are firmly seated in reality and experience from his many years of practice. The book was one huge "Aha" moment for me, especially in relation to dealing with emotions. It is short, sweet and very powerful - if you are willing and able to take a look at yourself and are interested in making changes that will empower you and your relationships.

Going on Forty and Still a Gem,

This review is from: The Disowned Self (Mass Market Paperback)
Two reviews. Two. Ridiculous, but understandable. It's been 40 years since Nathan let this loose on the world. For most readers (including myself back then), TDS might have been too experiential and rooted in what was surely obvious to anyone who did as he suggested: "Sit still and feel your feelings, and they'll stop pestering you."
In a '70s subculture teeming with anglers of one sort and another, Branden was the real deal. All he wanted you to do was see the obvious, and he wasn't into making you go without relieving yourself for eight hours, rinsing your brains out with thought control maneuvers, or separating you from your inheritance to "get it." TDS is the third of a trilogy you can find on amazon.com that includes =The Psychology of Self Esteem=. Those who really "get" the modern cognitive-behavioral therapies like DBT, ACT, MBCT and SIQR+DD will see the foundations of these wonderful therapies in Branden's notion that one has to clear up the "emotional" as well as the "intellectual" stuff in the way of feeling "okay." In several audiences with him back then, I don't recall hearing him say that he was essentially a psychodynamic, cognitive, behavioristic or existentialist therapist, though he used methods from these disciplines. But I did hear him say that he was not fond of psychoanalytic interpretation. Branden believed patients were better off figuring it out for themselves if they could, rather than robbing them of the experience of building their own ladders. His methods of that time are reflected in both of these books, and current day practitioners would do well to digest them. This guy was an "artiste" like Ellis, Bowen, Gabbard, Searles, Yallom and Laing. Like the aforementioned, he could make the depth of his realizations understandable to dedicated professionals and motivated patients alike.
