 | Empathy Reconsidered by Arthur C. Bohart, Leslie S. Greenberg
Empathy -- the sense of being in feeling with another -- has long been acknowledged as an important part of the therapist-patient bond. But with the advent of managed-care approaches, short-term psychotherapy, and the growing popularity of manualized approaches, empathy has started to take on a diminished role seen as a useful but not vital element in therapy, good to have but not necessary for the therapy`s success. With this book, the authors reclaim empathy`s central place in therapy and present a new and forceful vindication of empathy -- not as one inconsequential ingredient but as the crucial element in therapy, that allows for heightened interactions and the development of the client`s key life skills. Indeed, empathy is a core component of many orientations: feminist, relational, and client-centered, among others. As the authors note, many practitioners are unaware that there is lively and ongoing research in this area or that new theories, perspectives, and approaches to empathy are continually coming forward. This book serves as a lively corrective to this misperception.The book examines alternative concepts such as validation and provides ample case studies showing the roles that empathy plays in different theoretical perspectives. Empathy Reconsidered provides a fascinating overview that will be of practical value to clinicians, theoreticians, and researchers. AUTHOR: Arthur C. Bohart, Leslie S. Greenberg

 | Profiles of Power & Success by Gene N. Landrum
Are individuals born to be successful? Do money, education, and high IQ guarantee achievement? How do creativity and entrepreneurial genius emerge? Are they acquired or inherited? The Bell Curve is wrong , claims author Gene Landrum. In fact, too much money, education, or IQ is counterproductive to achievement . According to Landrum, nurture, not nature, is at the root of all great success in life. The world`s outstanding power brokers and creative geniuses are bred, not born. Profiles of Power and Success shows that energized creative geniuses are self-motivated and driven individuals who learn how to be great. Landrum presents a psychobiographical analysis of fourteen powerful individuals who rose to the top of their professions, changing the world in the process. These visionaries channeled their talents through six distinctive outlets to realize their individual creative potential: Artistic Power - Frank Lloyd Wright and Pablo Picasso; Business Power - Helena Rubinstein and Rupert Murdoch; Entertainment Power - Isadora Duncan, Walt Disney, and Edith Piaf; Humanistic Power - the Marquis de Sade, Maria Montessori, and Amelia Earhart; Political Power - Napoleon Bonaparte and Adolf Hitler; and Technological Power - Nikola Tesla and Howard Hughes.
