Book Description
Governing the Soul is now widely recognised as one of the founding texts in a new approach to analysing the links between political power, expertise and the self. This 'governmentality' perspective has had important implications for a range of academic disciplines including criminology, political theory, sociology and psychology and has generated much theoretical innovation and empirical investigation. This second edition: l New introduction setting out the methodological and conceptual bases of this approach; l New final chapter that considers some of the implications of recent developments in the government of subjectivity.

governing the soul = neoliberal governance at a distance.......2000-12-12
This book is Nikolas Rose's masterpiece about neoliberalism's attempts at "governance at a distance". Governing the soul is basically a euphemism for the attempt by neoliberal regimes to get citizens to govern themselves. Why get citizens to govern themselves? So the state can do, in the words of Osborne and Gaebler in Reinventing Government, "less of the rowing and more of the steering". There is a view that the welfare state had intervened too much into the day-to-day lives of citizens that civil society had become dependent on the government to meet their needs. Governing the soul means transforming those who had become dependent on the government into autonomous "selves" capable of carrying out self-governance. There is a notion that the self is not a given, as the humanist conception of self advocates, but is created through the choices we make. If you don't like who you are, make yourself up as someone different. Thus, governing the soul is directly related to governing through choice/freedom--a key aspect of "rule at a distance". This conception of self as "made up" can be seen today in the many talk shows, namely Oprah Winfrey, in which people are transformed from the lowly selves they were into the new selves they want to be through the process of choice. I would recommend this book to any who like Foucault's works because Rose's Foucauldian roots are clear in his arguments about nothing being given and everything being the product of history--"the history of the present" is a Foucauldian idea. Also, I would recommend Graham Burchell's works on "techniques of the self" because these techniques are actually analogous to Rose's "governing the soul".
Book Description
Why do psychopaths exert such fascination? From Blackbeard the pirate to Billy the Kid, John Dillinger and Ted Bundy, psychopaths have stirred feelings of seduction and terror. Do eros and morality have some kind of connection with psychopathy? Are those feelings part of something in us that allows the most violent kind in our society to kill easily, or is there a recognition that we too have a touch of the psychopath lurking in us at all times? Yet in the popular mind psychopathy only describes a disorder of the aggressive, antisocial criminal. Here, the famous Swiss psychiatrist Adolf Guggenbühl-Craig revisions this often overworked word. Within this book's pages he reviews the field, gives an explanation of the main symptoms, suggests an approach to treatment, and then presents a new vision: psychopathy is not so much a deficiency of morality as it is crippled eros. Guggenbühl-Craig also exposes the successful psychopath in business, professions, and politics.

wonderful working about mattes of psychopath.......2007-05-28
the emptied soul is about the nature of psychopath and here we find some connection with psychopathy the eros and morality.Wonderful working from a very good pychologist.
Less than compelling.......2006-03-16
Any belief system seems opaque to outsiders. Psychoanalysis was a very important step towards understanding and treating psychological problems but we have mostly left it behind, like Aristotelian physics. Without a basic sympathy for psychoanalysis this book becomes a series of unrelated assertions with the odd piercing insight; (the skewering of health bores is very amusing). Relatively low in ideas per page I'd say it is of mainly historical interest now. The awkward expression mentioned in an earlier review is certainly a problem. This shouldn't be in the first five books you read about this subject.
Deep Insight.......2006-03-12
This book presents a distinctly different look at the questions posed about the nature of psychopathy, and society's response to it. One achieves both greater understanding, and insight into the importance of individual responsibility and free will, even in the alternate universe of the sociopath.
Out of date with current state of knowledge, awkward read.......2005-08-31
I was more than a bit surprised at the glowing reviews for this book. The awkward writing will tip you off that this is a translated book. And the absence of references or a bibliography reveals a lack of scholarly rigor. I was first struck by a statement on page 68, made with a degree of certainty that is neither warranted nor substantiated by research. Citing the work of Manfred Bleuler, he writes "They do not become psychopaths because their mothers reject them but the other way around." This `they were born defective' theory appears to be derived from his ex post facto observations done at the Burghölzli asylum in Zurich. It is significant to note that his theory dovetails nicely with the work of his father, Eugen Bleuler, a proponent of eugenics in Nazi Germany. (see International Journal of Risk and Safety in Medicine, 4 (1993) 133-148)
Contrast this with the results of several psychological studies ("Becoming Attached", Robert Karen, pg 60)
[...] Levy writing about adopted children who were deceitful and eerily detached; Bender reporting on psychopathic-like children who had been in a series of foster care and adoptive homes; Bakwin, Goldfarb, and Spitz warning about the psychiatric damage done to institutionalized babies [...] they unanimously found the same symptoms in children deprived of their mothers
I did find some value in the later chapters, where Guggenbuhl-Craig details the symptoms and includes references to the "compensated psychopath." It was in the final chapters, though, where he discusses the Jungian concept of the "shadow" and how there is a bit of psychopath in all of us, that I found most compelling.
Finally, I would caution that certainty in the field of psychological research will only come about when we can know the *complete* experience of a human being. Right now, most research (necessarily) relies heavily on the hearsay of caretakers. To claim objectivity from this group ignores the vested interest that they have in portraying themselves as loving and blameless.
Astonishing!.......2002-07-17
This book is astonishing! It is a simple masterpiece. The author has given an amazing account of different types of psychopaths in the short, but oh so sweet, book.
Guggenbuhl-Craig should write more books. His style is amazing- it is easy to comprehend and extremely intelligent.
I applaud this book and its author. This is one of the best books on the subject I have ever read. Should get 10 Stars!!!
Book Description
Many people are familiar with the Enneagram, a description of personality types. Many are increasingly familiar with Essence, meaning qualities of being, a rapidly developing field in modern psychology. The 9 Dimensions of Soul is the first book to relate the two, understanding the personality types of the Enneagram in relation to the Essence.

Review from Ginger Lapid-Bogda.......2007-06-06
David Hey has written a simple, profound, and important book for helping us understand the Enneagram. With clarity and precision, he has taken this often hard-to-understand aspect of the Enneagram -- the Essence in each of us and how this relates to our Enneagram type and our search for meaning -- and made it available in a form that reads like poetry. As an Enneagram author myself (Bringing Out the Best in Yourself at Work" and "What Type of Leader Are You?"),I understand the challenges involved in taking this sometimes compex material and putting it into a form that others can readily understand and use. David has risen to this challenge.
New Dimensions of the Soul.......2007-04-13
The Enneagram and the teachings of Gurdjieff I have found to be too arcane for the casual reader. Hey's book The 9 Dimensions of the Soul provides an entertaining and informative analysis of some of this difficult material. As you read this book it is impossible not to begin to see how the enneagram applies to our own actions and everyone we deal with in our lives. This book also gives insight on why we behave the way we do. What I also found both useful and fascinating is how these profiles can be applied to the collective and how we work together. I would recommend this book to anyone who has seen a pattern in their own behavior.
Getting to know yourself.......2007-03-26
In the past two decades many enlightenment books have been published. Some have fallen into the category of the trendy self-help variety. Nine Diminsions is about as far from those as can be imagined. It represents a great deal of care and thought on the part of its author. David Hey doesn't set forth easy answers to spiritual questions, free of any contribution on the reader's part. Here we find a path to self knowledge (and a way to know others as well) that can help us create and sustain meaningful relationships with those we love. The book is readable because it is obvious that Hey has spent considerable time thinking about his subject and his readers. He has written about a difficult subject with grace and courage.
Book Description
Twenty-five years ago one could list by name the tiny number of multiple personalities recorded in the history of Western medicine, but today hundreds of people receive treatment for dissociative disorders in every sizable town in North America. Clinicians, backed by a grassroots movement of patients and therapists, find child sexual abuse to be the primary cause of the illness, while critics accuse the "MPD" community of fostering false memories of childhood trauma. Here the distinguished philosopher Ian Hacking uses the MPD epidemic and its links with the contemporary concept of child abuse to scrutinize today's moral and political climate, especially our power struggles about memory and our efforts to cope with psychological injuries.
What is it like to suffer from multiple personality? Most diagnosed patients are women: why does gender matter? How does defining an illness affect the behavior of those who suffer from it? And, more generally, how do systems of knowledge about kinds of people interact with the people who are known about? Answering these and similar questions, Hacking explores the development of the modern multiple personality movement. He then turns to a fascinating series of historical vignettes about an earlier wave of multiples, people who were diagnosed as new ways of thinking about memory emerged, particularly in France, toward the end of the nineteenth century. Fervently occupied with the study of hypnotism, hysteria, sleepwalking, and fugue, scientists of this period aimed to take the soul away from the religious sphere. What better way to do this than to make memory a surrogate for the soul and then subject it to empirical investigation?
Made possible by these nineteenth-century developments, the current outbreak of dissociative disorders is embedded in new political settings. Rewriting the Soul concludes with a powerful analysis linking historical and contemporary material in a fresh contribution to the archaeology of knowledge. As Foucault once identified a politics that centers on the body and another that classifies and organizes the human population, Hacking has now provided a masterful description of the politics of memory : the scientizing of the soul and the wounds it can receive.

"Less than One".......2003-11-29
Hacking asks, "Is it real?" He referred to the epidemic nature of multiplicity. He wrote that at one time multiplicity was considered rare. Hacking asks, "What happened? What is it? And, what is the answer?" He considered that multiplicity could be a fabrication between doctor and patient or as a social circumstance. He suggests that an intervention should be made and concluded that the situation demand professional caution. He sites the organizational work done by, "the False Memory Syndrome Foundation, but he claimed to be neutral.
Hacking seems to be part of a movement that believes that "... emphasis on personalities is wrongheaded." He writes that multiplicity is a failure to integrate. He quotes Spiegel (1993) as saying, "The problem is not having more than one personality; it is having less than one personality." Hacking further writes a comparison of multiplicity to Alice (in Wonderland). "For this curious child was very fond of pretending to be two people. `But it's no use now,' thought poor Alice, `to pretend to be two people! Why, there is hardly enough of me left to make one respectable person!"
Yesterday, I pulled from my shelves the first book I found on multiplicity. I wanted to write the first item in THE CATALOG. I skimmed through the first chapter. And, I felt anger and betrayal. This author's thinking horrified me. I don't have the ability to remember what I have or have not read or who is who, but I'd fallen under the wrong assumption that I have bought only "good books." So-be-it. This remains the first entry. We hope to offer "some" objectivity.
We will be checking out the other books on our shelves before going much further. We find it hard to remember, but we do know what allows feeling good or bad. We're not less than one!

Interesting, but flawed.......2002-03-21
This book raises a lot of questions. The issue Hacking takes on is fascinating: multiple personality disoder and its philosophical implications. Hacking is a lot more down-to-earth and clear as a writer than most other philosophers, making this book much easier to read than anything I remember reading in philosophy class in college.
Hacking analyzes both MPD and the MPD movement. This is really interesting and makes me, the reader, think that there is a fascinating story to be told here: the story of how the movement came into being and has changed over time. Hacking gets into that, but then he backs off from it, and says he has scrupulously limited himself to matters of public record. No fair! this frustrated reader wants to say. It's like someone saying...I know things you don't....and not sharing.
There are a few flaws with this book that mean Hacking's conclusions should not be accepted uncritically:
1. Errors of fact. Hacking is sloppy here, or he has one of the worst editors of all time. I'll cite one of the simplest. In the hardback version I read, Jennifer Freyd's name is misspelled throughout. She is referred to as "Jenifer". Maybe this has been corrected since then. But Hacking has the temerity to evaluate the quality of "Jenifer's" writing - when he can't spell her name right. Excuse me??
2. Difficult to follow in some chapters. I found the chapters on the history of memory to be poorly organized, so that I lost the thread of what Hacking was saying. This is my failure as a reader, perhaps. But if anyone else tries to plow through that part of the book and can't make it, you are not alone.
3. Questionable claim of impartiality: Hacking presents himself as impartial, favoring neither the FMSF nor the trauma therapists. In actual fact, he is either sloppy, or very close to an FMSF apologist. This can be seen in his unwise choice of source materials. He consistently ignores the more responsible therapists and books.
I believe one (or more) of the following possibilities is true:
- Hacking is an FMSF advocate pretending to be impartial
- Hacking really tries to be impartial here, but did a poor job researching his subject and presents his conclusions too confidently.
- This book suffers from the ill effects of poor editing
But Hacking does a couple of great things:
- He thinks for himself. For example, he asks why so many alters are men, or little children, or homosexual. Then he talks about the implications of this. Fascinating questions!
- He discredits the concept of a core self, pristine, pure, untouched by culture. Thank you, Dr. Hacking. It's about time someone did.
- He eschews jargon and buzzwords, in favor of his own thoughts and phrasing. This is not common in an author writing about psychology, and is welcome.
I also think that, unfortunately, there were two or more books here that got fused. One of these books would have been MPD, the modern movement, and what it says about human consciousness. That would have been fascinating.
The other book would have been about the science and politics of memory, including Hacking's term, memoro-politics. That could be interesting too, but only if Hacking included the work of more responsible therapists. To me, these two separate discussions didn't fit together well.
Book Description
The authors of the popular What's My Type? break through to a dramatic new level of Enneagram work by exploring the Original -- or Hidden -- Wound and outlining the recovery of our Repressed Center -- the key to releasing our power to love ourselves, love others, and put our unique talents to work in the world. Reclaiming the Hidden Self or Repressed Center completes, heals, and integrates our personality. Through real-life examples and questions for personal or group use, the authors detail this soul-making process by which we become rounded, capable of love, and empowered to create and contribute.
Hurley and Dobson explor the three centers of human intelligence -- the Intellectual, the Relational, and the Creative -- and how they operate in our lives. Each of the nine personality types prefers one center, relies on another for backup support, and represses one center altogether. The Enneagram challenge is to recover the lost resources of our personality's repressed center. Freed to be fully intellectual, creative, and relational in our living, we become able to achieve harmony, joy, love, and creativity.

Good for more advanced work. but a little "out there".......2001-07-31
This book was excellent when one wants to do further study beyond the basic numbers and wings. I had a few breakthroughs while reading it. Toward the end it smacks a bit of "new-age" which will probably not bother some, but, upset my own "Christian sensibilities" a bit. However, I (and other people that I know and study the enneagram with) have found it very helpful in furthuring our understanding of the enneagram. This is not a book for beginners. Riso's Personality Types is much better for that. But if one wants to delve more into the heart/head/gut centers this could be the book for you.
Best advanced book on the enneagram........1999-07-21
This book is best read after you read a basic enneagram book first, when you feel comfortable with the different numbers and meanings. It is excellent for taking you to the next step, how to see yourself and others on a more spiritual level, and how to heal yourself. An excellent read!

A book to put your body mind and soul in unity. a must read.......1999-01-15
If you don't understand yourself your spouse or kids and life seems out of control. Follow the insights revealed in this book you can get it all together and help those around you whom you love.
For more advanced enneagram learners.......1998-12-28
This is definately the best enneagram book I've ever read! I wouldn't recommend it as your first enneagram book but for anyone who already knows the basic things about the different types. The book really has a great, new kind of view into the enneagram. It does not just try to describe the different types but goes much deeper; it tells you what to do to find the little child inside yourself. And, what I especially liked was the way the authors emphasized the influence of your Center - be it emotional, creative or intellectual - in your life and in your type. This book really is worth reading!

A Rich Collection of Essays.......2000-08-22
This collection of writings by some renowned psychotherapists, including Jean Houston and James Hillman, integrates the spiritual, creative, and psychological aspects of psychotherapy in the tradition of C.G. Jung. The authors skillfully draw upon the perennial spiritual traditions, as well as creative arts, mythology, and mysticism and integrate them with intelligence and grace into a psychology of the soul.
Book Description
In this celebratory book, Dr. Schaeffer transports us beyond her best-seller, Is It Love or Is It Addiction? and makes clear that love is not an addiction. But "what is love?" Exploring the pain, perils and pitfalls of relationships in our time, grounding herself in extensive clinical experience with love addiction and other disorders of loving, she cracks the mystery of love wide open. Through an enlightened series of "Memos from Love", that came to her in quiet meditation, the book became much greater than her original vision and took on a life of its own. Love's Way soars beyond psychology to become the first guide to modern love that does full justice to the power, beauty, mystery, and omnipresence of love itself. With compassion, it reminds us how trauma, betrayal, and the loss of innocence leave our hearts raw, wounded and closed to a love that is right at our fingertips. Love speaks to us directly in this book, and its voice is strong. Besides telling us what love is and is not, love offers body, ego, soul and spirit challenging assignments that assure a vibrant love life and walk us into the 21st Century. Chock-full of modern insight, ancient wisdom, and stories and poems that range from consulting room accounts to the ecstatic songs of Rumi, Love's Way, will convince readers that whether or not they are in a relationship, they are definitely "in love"-already caught up in love's transforming power. Exercises at the end of this philosophical and profoundly satisfying book add the practical element needed to take love to the streets. For people who have become disconnected from the joys of the heart, this phenomenal book by Brenda Schaeffer is a must read.

Read - no MEMORIZE this book.......2003-02-21
This is the most complete book on what love is and isn't that I have read or even imagined. This book is way more than about romantic love, it's about life.
Ms. Schaeffer's insights are simple and wise. And new. I often shook my head in amazement while reading. Her knowledge is extensive and could be a bit too meaty and in depth, but her writing is lyrical and easy. But make no mistake, this is not a fluf self-help book.
I have known for a long time that love is all there is and all that is important, and therefore I have been searching as to what it is exactly. This book was my answer.
Buy this book!! It will change your life.......2001-11-01
I know Brenda..as well as anyone who has worked intimately with a therapiest. Actually a healer of the hightest order. Love's Way is more than important book, it is an essential field guide for those wishing to lead a more healthy whole life. In a time when many of us know the "time is now" to be authentic to our live's calling, love is the way. Brenda is a rare guide who has the gifts, heart and wisdom to live what she writes about. Buy this book now and give it to others!!!!
A travel guide to find love without addictions.......2001-06-17
Brenda Schaeffer's book is very personal since it reveals not only true case history but also candidly share a practicing therapist reflections. She reveals to her readers how love is available to all and to understand what it really is in the union of the body, ego, soul and spirit.
It is a small book packed full of common sense advices and spirit awakening exercises that are just gems! Her creativity and fresh approach to therapy offers rituals and life affirming recipes to design your own love life, to overcome the bad hand that was dealt, to give each one of us winning cards and the will to discard the jokers in the deck.
I will always keep this book as a travel guide to navigate the rest of my life’s journey. Let's hope that Mrs. Schaeffer will soon offer a companion workbook to allow her readers and students to chart their progress.

Product Description
Here is a book that pulls from life-experience, and the greatest contemporary and historical sages, to engage the reader in life's most challenging and fundamental questions. It gathers momentum as the reader is exposed to the ego, soul, and the Divine by understanding their role in the evolution of human consciousness. What is blocking us from embracing our greatness? As the human mind and brain developed over the millennia, humanity's true nature was obscured by a human intellect and belief system in its early stages of evolution. We have all witnessed what this has led to. There is a way out of this box we have built for ourselves. The breakout begins when we allow ourselves to take a fresh look at the core human condition that spiritual traditions have been dealing with for thousands of years. This book shows the reader how to look at their soul in a refreshing and new way. In this new century, the time is ripe for an exciting and innovative way of approaching spirituality and rediscovering our souls.
Ego, Soul, & Beyond is a life-changing and provocative book that offers a clear, comprehensive, and practical way to usher in the next stage of human evolution. It doesn't replace psychology or spirituality - it takes them to a new level. The reader is challenged to wake up their soul and embrace reality below the symptom level. The intellect, heart, and belly soul-centers, which the world's spiritual traditions target in different ways, are explained and reconceived in a way that speaks to the fullness of what it means to be human. Fundamental change has never been more possible. The human mind has evolved to a place where many are perched for a dive into a new reality where contemporary and historical problems can finally be resolved. If you are one of those ready to take the dive, you are likely a "soulworker". This is a person who is ready to do whatever it takes to find the answers to their deepest questions, face their deepest fears, and align their life with their soul's mission. You will find this book to be a leading-edge handbook that provides the tools, concepts, and keys for evolving humanity into a new way of being. The journey into our souls is the most important and exciting journey we can ever take. There is nothing more worth discovering.

Finally, A Book That Gives ANSWERS to Spiritual Questions.......2005-04-27
I spent much of my 20's and 30's reading spiritual books looking for answers to the questions that continually haunted me. What am I doing here? Why do I find myself repeating painful patterns? Where does all this fear that runs my life come from? How do I get past this fear and find God? I finally found the answers to all my questions in one book!
Ego, Soul & Beyond doesn't use blame and guilt to help you to understand how we lose our true nature. Nor does it tell you that only "certain" and "special" souls can attain the peace that connecting with our own soul will bring. This book actually EXPLAINS why and how we all lose our connection with who we really are and gives you maps and diagrams to help you find your way back to the real you!
The author, Bob Mackura, gives the reader hope and joy by explaining that every person on this earth has the soul potential to enjoy and feel their true nature and their connection to the Divine.
Ego, Soul & Beyond is a gift that keeps on giving, because each time you read it, you learn something different about the real you!
An excellent guide for those searching .......2005-03-22
I have read Bob's book several times and I now use it as a tool to help me when I am not sure what it going on. I will meditate for a short time on the feelings I am having and then ask the question " What is really going on with my ego ( psuedo soul). Then I open the book and I turn to the perfect page and read what I need to know. It is all here. My search to answer the question " Why is my life such a struggle all the time" led me to Bob and his book.
I highly recommend it to anyone who is searching for the Truth, no matter what, you want the true Truth. Buy this book to start you on your way.
