Product reviews for States of Equilibrium

A gem of a book that builds on Erickson's key presupposition that we are naturally driven to find a state of mental, emotional and psychological balance. Our innate healing energies, and therefore good therapy, leads not to a single fixed outcome but a dynamic journey of growth and change, wherein outcomes are enjoyed through lucid and flexible state application and the accompanying processing patterns. Doctor in Human Development Counseling, John Burton draws on a wide and relevant research and theoritical base, from cognitive psychology to modern theorists such as Maslow, Watzlawick, Erik Erikson and Loevinger to provide an accessible but robust structure to personal development theory. Clearly and attractively laid out, read it from cover to cover or just dip in and absorb.
