Opis

This important book examines how the growing field of cybernetic psychology - the study of the creative complexity of the mind - can be applied to a range of different realms, tapping into the unconscious potential within us all.

Cybernetic psychology integrates theories from various schools of thought, bringing them together in one unified theory. First developed and described by Danish author and psychotherapist Ole Vedfelt. It can be used in therapeutic practice, in relation to learning and pedagogics, and as a tool for better leadership. The 15 chapters within this volume apply the theory to these as well as other areas, including ecology, creativity, mindfulness and scientific enquiry itself.

Insightful and wide-ranging, the book will appeal to psychotherapists and those working within mental health, as well as students and researchers across Education, Psychology and beyond.

Recenzje

"It's inspiring to read Unconscious Intelligence in Cybernetic Psychology. The content opens the interface between my consciousness and the unconscious intelligence and makes me see the world in new ways. It is an experience I can highly recommend."

Ole Vedfelt, Author and founder of Cybernetic Psychology

"Unconscious Intelligence in Cybernetic Psychology [...] gives a good overall view to the wide versatility of the Jungian-inspired Cybernetic psychology. I feel animated to inner and outer dialogue. And that is probably one of the best quality marks you can give a book."

Misser Berg, President, International Association for Analytical Psychology
