 Caseness and Narrative contrasts two ways of trying to help persons in emotional distress. The first, called Caseness, sees signs of distress as symptoms without significant meaning, makes a diagnosis which allows the psychiatric system to name the experience, and then uses strong methods to minimize or stop symptom expression. The second way, called Narrative, allows the story to unfold, uses the structure of narrative to frame the process, and then—to avoid the person becoming stuck––supports the transformative nature of the lived experience. We invite you to a greater and deeper understanding, which may help you, family and friends support each other going through difficult emotional experiences.

This book takes a critical look at psychiatric research, factors which compromise its integrity and which may steer us from paths that lead to healing. The lack of informed consent is a major problem in research, in which subjects are in emotional distress. This work suggests an alternative vision, one backed by scientific research and which can be lifesaving for persons going through crisis. Read this work if you want to take an independent look at the science involved, and a more effective way to help people.

This work offers a guide that sums up years of dream interpretation. We are given both general guidelines on how to approach our dreams and specific tools to understand their symbolic significance. Each of these is illustrated by the author's own dream life. Not only will we discover how to find meaning in dreams, but we will come to see the value of their beauty and mystery. The net result is that we will become comfortable handling the dream world, and be led to awareness and actions that will help fulfill our lives. This fulfillment is in harmony with the personalized and universal aspiration that the dream world seeks to grant us.

This book wrestles with the question of free will, which the author supports versus a deterministic vision of the universe. Following William James, the author resolves the issue by applying pragmatic ideas tested in reality. The core idea of this work is that true ideas are judged by where they lead us. Unlike materialism, this view is open to a pluralistic universe. This includes a spiritual dimension, in which our consciousness has a transmissive capacity, an ability to pick up inspiration from outside itself. All of this serves as a guide to a richer life, in which we experience harmony with the world by means of "agreeable leading." Last, the author wishes that this was a book he would have read when he was young, and we invite you to do the same.

This work begins by entering a world in which normal things have dissolved and essences appear. With the emergence of a new physicality, mysteries are explored: the body's mineral/spiritual substance, the shape of one's soul/body, opposites joining to make a unity, and the experience of merging with animals and plants. A problematic future is also envisioned, in which factual reality has been deconstructed, and our connection to others is endangered. To help us, we are shown four true essences and four false ones. Come experience the path to the lost world of shared essences from the astronomical to the spiritual world.
