The Primal Wound: A Transpersonal View of Trauma, Addiction, and Growth
by John Firman and Ann Gila
The primal wound is the result of a violation we all suffer in various ways, beginning in early childhood and continuing throughout life. Because we are treated not as individual, unique human beings but as objects, our intrinsic, authentic sense of self is annihilated. This primal wounding breaks the fundamental relationships that form the fabric of human existence: the relationship to oneself, to other people, to the natural world, and to a sense of transpersonal meaning symbolized in concepts such as the Divine, the Ground of Being, and Ultimate Reality. In this book Firman and Gila apply object relations theory, self-psychology, transpersonal psychology, and psychosynthesis to the issues of psychological wounding, healing, and growth and show how this wounding can be redeemed through therapy and through changing one's way of living.


Psychosynthesis: A Psychology of the Spirit
by John Firman and Ann Gila
Conceived by Italian psychiatrist Roberto Assagioli, psychosynthesis is one of the first Western psychologies that addresses both spiritual development and psychological healing and growth by recognizing and supporting the particular life journey of the person—the individual's own unique path of self-realization. Firman and Gila present a comprehensive account of psychosynthesis, providing a transpersonal integration of developmental, personality, and clinical theory. They reveal some of the relationships between psychosynthesis and contemporary developmental research, object relations theory, intersubjective psychology, trauma theory, the recovery movement, Jungian psychology, humanistic and transpersonal psychology, and common psychological diagnoses. Case examples, practical theory, and experiential exercises designed to support both the layperson and the professional seeking to understand and facilitate psychospiritual growth are included.


Unfolding Self: The Practice of Psychosynthesis
by Molly Young Brown
This classic text on psychosynthesis counseling and psychotherapy is for individuals who want to challenge their clients and students to more fully use their creative and healing powers. Key concepts covered include essential being and motivation of the individual; Assagioli's psychological laws; the psychosynthesis model of human growth; and specific problems that psychosynthesis addresses in the various stages of the human development. This book helps guide individuals toward greater health, creativity, and fulfillment.

In the book is a family questionnaire, exercises in meditation, fairy tales, theater, journaling, and art work, to help families explore qualities, will, fears, love, forgiveness, gratitude, dreams, and joy.
