In Love, Power and Wisdom, psychotherapist, Process Work teacher, and conflict facilitator Gary Reiss shows us how to have more love for ourselves, our relationships, the Earth, and our world. Integrating Process-oriented Psychology, Aikido, and other psychological and spiritual traditions, Reiss shows that the ancient polarities of love and power need to be unified into a new kind of Love, and that the integration of love and power is full of deep wisdom. Love that is full of wisdom begins with self-love and Reiss shows how to then move from self-love to relationship love, loving humanity, and loving the Divine. We can learn to connect to infinite love and the energy and healing this brings Love, Power and Wisdom is full of stories that help illustrate this wisdom based path of love, and exercises that help us learn how to love fully with our minds, bodies and spirits.

In Healing History Dr. Gary Reiss challenges and expands upon the central principles of psychology and conflict resolution. The central principle behind psychology focuses on individuals and their personal lives. This however, covers about half of what psychology needs to cover. The missing half is not personal to me or you but what we carry psychologically due to our extended multi-generational family system, the groups we are part of, the history of these groups and the countries they come from.The central principle behind most peacemaking and facilitation is to work with the problems of the present moment, to make some kind of peace treaty and write it up. We, those of us who are therapists, facilitators and peacemakers, don't address the hidden presence history often plays. As a result, the various sides don't understand that their conflict isn't just their conflict, but history repeating itselfTo break the cycle of history that leads to constant inner conflict and war on the outside, we must heal history. To a very large degree, the future of humanity depends on our developing and implementing tools to break the repetitive cycle of unprocessed history. Come along and through theory, stories, and exercises learn how to heal history.

Most people feel disturbed by the political and social problems we see every day yet, at the same time, feel helpless to solve them. We feel even more disturbed as we and others give up our personal power in futile attempts to solve these problems. We have given our power away to politicians and others who accomplish little or nothing as they serve their own narrow interests. People have become apathetic because the world situation is just too overwhelming. This book will help you to view the world situation in a way that is not overwhelming. It provides ways for you to take back your power for personal growth and social change.
