Life Skills

Improve the Quality of Your Life with Metapsychology

Beschreibung

Metapsychology, as developed by Frank A. Gerbode, MD, is a subject rich in philosophy and practical application. Much of Applied Metapsychology makes use of one-on-one session work to achieve the individual's personal goals-from relieving past pain to living more fully to expanding consciousness. Life Skills highlights key factors from the subject and illuminates the ways that these factors can be used on a daily basis for im-proved quality of life, as an individual, in relationships, and in the wider world. Learn handy and usually quite fast techniques to assist another person after a shock, injury or other distress. Learn simple methods for expanding your awareness on a daily basis. Gain a deeper understanding of what a relationship is, and how to strengthen and nurture it. Learn the components of successful communication, what causes communication to break down, and how to repair breakdowns. Gain vital keys to understanding those behaviors of other people that have previously been inexplicable to you. Gain the ability to more accurately predict certain patterns of human behavior, and to be more effective in dealing with the negative ones. Learn an effective tool for making important life decisions. Explore human potential. Learn more at www.LifeSkillsBook.com

Always motivated by the desire to learn, grow and assist other people on their journeys as best I could, I was very fortunate to meet Dr. Frank A. ("Sarge") Gerbode through mutual friends in the early 1980s. When I found out what he was working on, the development of metapsychology (what we might call the philosophy of human existence) and Applied Metapsychology, the practical application thereof, I was delighted. Finally, I had found where I belonged.Applied Metapsychology is a rich, deep, broad subject. In addition to being fun to study in itself, the subject provides elegantly simple tools for effectively helping people. I have been making use of these tools and the person-centered paradigm that supports their effectiveness for close to 40 years at the time of this writing and I never get tired of it. Trying to help and failing leads to burnout. Having tools that work is a constant delight. Working with my clients, training new practitioners of the subject, and training trainers are my idea of the very best fun.At some point, I realized that I spend a fair bit of time with my client introducing them to basic concepts within the subject to find out if they seem useful a relevant to the person I am talking with. (They nearly always do.) Then it occurred to me that I could not reasonably expect my clients to remember all this great stuff and that was when I decided to write Life Skills. Dr. Gerbode had written the textbook "Beyond Psychology: An Introduction to Metapsychology" (now in its 4th Edition). I wrote this book for anyone to study these principles and try them out, at whatever pace they like.
