SENSES OF FOCUSING VOLUME IΙ

This second volume of Senses of Focusing carries exploration of the many ‘senses’ of ‘focusing’ in new directions, beginning with the crucial area of ‘spirituality’ and the wisdom of ‘dreams’. The value of living and working from inner experiencing ‘in individual lives and in therapeutic practice’ is explored across a variety of cultures as well as through different manifestations in the ‘Arts’, specifically poetry, theatre and music. A section on Focusing in ‘science and neuroscience’ is followed by cross-cultural takes on the theory and practice of ‘Thinking at the Edge’ and a section on the significance of the body’s knowing in ‘ethics and decision-making’. The volume concludes with an examination of Eugene Gendlin’s contribution to Client-Centred Therapy and examples of how his work is now regarded by more recent theorists and practitioners of the Person-Centred Approach.
