    No matter from which point of view we approach it, we discover fresh conjunctions of new and old ideas." So writes Don Riso in this expanded edition of his classic interpretation of the Enneagram, the ancient psychological system used to understand the human personality. In addition to updating the descriptions of the nine personality types, Personality Types, Revised greatly expands the accompanying guidelines and, for the first time, uncovers the Core Dynamics, or Levels of Development, within each type. This skeletal system provides far more information about the inner tension and movements of the nine personalities than has previously been published. This increased specificity will allow therapists, social workers, personnel managers, students of the Enneagram, and general readers alike to use it with much greater precision as they unlock the secrets of self-understanding, and thus self-transformation.

    Although modern psychology had elucidated many of the causes of human distress, and the knowledge has become a panacea. For the Jew, the timeless wisdom of the Torah and the guidelines for living provided by Jewishness could appear to be a solution. Yet, many who are commited to Jewishness are no less distressed. Indeed, they may be disappointed in their failure of their practice of Jewishness to achieve the elusive goals. The key to the problem may be man's misperception of reality, the reality of his very self. This is the theme of Let Us Make Man, wherein Dr. Abraham Twerski, a psychiatrist and a Torah scholar, brings together psychological insights and a wealth of wisdom inherent in Jewishness, to suggest a way in which people may come to know and value the most important component of their lives: themselves. The attainment of self-esteem through Jewishness may not be a simple task, but many people expend great effort to acquire what they believe to be their needs. In Let Us Make Man, Dr. Twerski contends that true self-awareness is most fundamental of all human needs, and can be attained through Jewishness.

    Without some measure of self-worth, life can be enormously painful, with many basic needs going unmet.One of the main factors differentiating humans from other animals is the awareness of self: the ability to form an identity and then attach a value to it. In other words, you have the capacity to define who you are and then decide if you like that identity or not. The problem of self-esteem is this human capacity for judgment. It’s one thing to dislike certain colors, noises, shapes, or sensations. But when you reject parts of your self, you greatly damage the psycho logical structures that literally keep you alive. Judging and rejecting your self causes enormous pain.Since its first publication in 1987, Self-Esteem has become the first choice of therapists and savvy readers looking for a comprehensive, self-care approach to improving self-image, increasing personal power, and defining core values. More than 600,000 copies of this book have helped literally millions of readers feel better about themselves, achieve greater success, and enjoy their lives to the fullest.You can do it, too!

    Dr. Jane Nelsen, an experienced psychologist, educator, and mother, believes that children misbehave when they feel thwarted in their need to belong and in their need for love and attention. An authoritative approach, using phrases like "Because I said so!", will only lead to rebellious behavior. Instead, parents need basic principles that bring them and their children closer. They need Positive Discipline.Dr. Nelsen explains that parents who use kindness and firmness to teach life skills will encourage self-respect, self-discipline, cooperation, good behavior, and problem-solving skills in their children. In Positive Discipline, revised and updated for the '90s, she shows all of us, parents and teachers alike, exactly how her practical program works--answering, step-by-step, such important questions as:*What works better than punishment to teach children positive, good behavior?*What mistakes do most parents make "in the name of love"?*How can parents turn their mistakes into assets?*How can praise be dangerous?*What are the dangers of trying to be "Super Mom"?*How can teachers avoid discipline problems in the classroom?"It is positive! It works! It saves your sanity! And it is easy to share with others."--Julie Pope, Parent Sacramento, CA"As a parent and psychotherapist, I have found enormous value and practical wisdom in Positive Discipline. It conveys a win/win atmosphere for parents and children. The techniques are so easy to learn and fun to use...Anyone following these concepts will see almost instant results and big smiles on the faces of their children."--Katherine Dusay, Psychotherapist San Francisco, CA
