Scripts People Live: Transactional Analysis of Life Scripts


Claude Steiner - 1974
    This theory was further developed in Steiner’s book Games Alcoholics Play. Dr. Berne, in What Do You Say After You Say Hello?, acknowledged Steiner’s important role in the analysis of “life scripts” which we choose at an early age and which rule every detail of our lives until our death.In Scripts People Live, Steiner expands upon this belief to show that people are innately healthy but develop a pattern early in life based upon negative or positive influences of those around them. Thus children decide, however unconsciously, whether they will be happy or depressed, winners or failures, strong or dependent, and having decided, they spend the rest of their lives making the decision come true. For those who choose a negative script, the consequences can be disastrous unless they make a conscious decision to change.Steiner’s classic in psychological theory, with a new foreword by the author, offers a hopeful and practical analysis so that we all may rewrite our life scripts and lead more meaningful and fulfilling lives.

A Bird on the Wing


Osho - 1974
    Osho is a contemporary “Zen Master” and according to his own statements even more dangerous than the ancient masters.Like the masters of old, Osho tries to create situations for modern seekers that allow instant awakening, or enlightenment – to bring us out of the old habits and patterns of the mind and its illusions, out of the fog of conditioned beliefs and assumptions, and into the reality of the atomic, clear moment – the here and now.“Be rooted in the body so you can have wings in the soul,” he says. “Be rooted in the earth so you can spread into the sky; be rooted in the visible so you can reach into the invisible. Don’t create duality and don’t create any antagonism. If I am against anything, I am against antagonism. I am against being against anything; I am for the whole, for the complete circle.” A Bird on the Wing is an invitation to enter the world of Zen: to move from words to silence and from theory to experience.This book will take you as far as words can go; the rest is up to you. This is the very essence of Zen.

History authenticates the devastating effect of such virulent bigotry.The biblical portrayal of this heinous intolerance presents the divine perspective and solution and outlines the plan of God for the Jew throughout human history. In the unconditional covenants to Israel, God guarantees that the Jew will survive despite cruel treatment. Therefore, He condemns anti-Semitism as a contradiction to His sovereign will and purpose.No one should ever be guilty of this insidious prejudice.

Madness Network News Reader


Sherry Hirsch - 1974
    If so, you have heard the underlying message delivered with the 'treatment': The 'patient' is mad; no longer a valid, responsible individual, but an invalid, irresponsible one. You may also know that the role people labeled crazy are forced to play once the psychiatric system has a firm hold on them is really that of an acquiescent prisoner.If you don't know about these things, you should read this book. If you do know, you will find some or all of your suspicions confirmed here. The 'Reader' is a collection of works written by people who have experienced first-hand that kind of 'help'. They have recognized their needs and the needs of their friends and family which have not been met by the system.'Madness Network News Reader' is an outgrowth of 'Madness Network News', a newsletter designed to bring together and disseminate information about the psychiatric system and alternatives to it. The 'Reader' is designed so you can pick it up and browse at any point. Section 1 gives you an inside look at the Madhouse as described by patients and workers, and in some cases people have been both. Section II talks about the Cure (or treatments) and discusses the politics of hospitalization. Section III, the Resistance, is about the embryonic movements to change the system and contains pieces on Robert Laing and psychiatry and the law, and arun-down on the legal and rights organizations operating around the country. The book ends with letters from our readers and members of the madness network.
