Interpersonal psychoanalytic theory states that people can achieve insight into how, through interactions with people, they became who they are, and how they can change patterns of living that limit further satisfaction. It posits that people are born with a blueprint for growth and development (like a seedling possesses the potential for growing into a flourishing tree) that includes respect, self-fulfillment, expansion of experiences and ever widening and deepening human interactions.
Individuals might seek therapy precisely because the society they live in, to varying degrees, is phobic and racist and they need help dealing.
“This important work provides theoretical insights that will help non-clinicians as well as clinicians understand individuals in the context of personal, social, and historical development. As a public health researcher with an interest in the intersection of health and public policy, I found this book well worth the read!” –Hillel W. Cohen, Albert Einstein College of Medicine
This memoir-driven sequel to Fire Dragon Street Theater: 1962-1967 is a blueprint for all kinds of humane collaborations. Each actor’s unique obsessions and tensions resonate with our own in our struggle for healthy, meaningful lives. Did we make a difference? Can we make a difference? Here we go again!
“This is a very unique book centered on characters that are multidimensional, with human flaws and contradictions shaped by a historic period of revolutionary upheaval with mass opposition against an unjust U.S. war in Vietnam abroad and the struggle against racism and sexism at home. It is another example of how global and domestic events are a process of shaping one’s awareness as individuals and amongst others. How these characters interact with each other on a daily basis within a theatrical setting is beautifully explored by the author with excellent dialogue steeped in sensitivity towards oppression and realism. This combination of politics and mass culture is well worth the read.” –Monica Moorehead, former presidential candidate, political writer & editor
This meticulously researched and richly textured novel is set in a lesser-known battle of the Pacific War. The strength of the human spirit, the bonds of love, and the resilience of diverse communities are tested against the backdrop of these battles. Beyond the Bukubuk Tree is a gripping saga of courage, love, and survival in the face of overwhelming adversity.
“This is a war novel like no other, an aching love-story of two people trying to do right when everything around them has gone wrong. With incredibly rich detail in her characters and their struggles, treating childhood polio, indigenous Tolai beliefs, the Aussie army during World War II and much more. …. With lyrical descriptions, the reader is absorbed into a time and place that history has forgotten, the tropical paradise of Rabaul on the deadly Pacific front line.” –Nev March, author of award-winning Murder in Old Bombay
A sensual LGBTQ adventure, romance, fantasy, science fiction, literary novel for all who believe and participate (or are thinking about participating) in the struggle. J, a troubled five-year-old living in Washington Heights, has a life-long, daunting mission: use her mind-bending powers against NASA scientists planning a premature leap from the Atomic to the Empath Age, harnessing the energy of empathy to colonize other planets. (Janet Rose is Janet Mayes’ pen name)
“Beyond the Horse’s Eye–a Fantasy Out of Time is built around a fascinating concept: empathy for all living things can be channeled into a powerful energy force. A period of rich ferment–the 1960s in the U.S.–with opposition to the Vietnam War, the civil rights movement, the movement for sexual liberation, revisited, as species beyond humans, join forces with young earthlings, now with empath power, and cooperate to change history. Worlds, energy forms and loves collide with unexpected results. An exciting read that is wise and full of intuitions on pain, survival, rehabilitation and change.” –Sara Flounders, Director, International Action Center
