Dreaming Body Near Death by Arthur Mindell
Arnold Mindell's work with comatose patients offers a new direction in psychotherapy and in the study of near-death experiences. He argues that people in such states are not merely vegetables, but human beings in an altered state of consciousness that may be an important experience for them: some report experiences of insight, ecstasy and self-knowledge. Offering verbatim bedside reports, theoretical discussion and practical exercises, the author demonstrates his techniques for communicating with the comatose person based on his own process-orientated psychology. In showing that the comatose person is able to communicate with others, the author argues that such patients can often make conscious, rational decisions, thus adding a new dimension to ethical and legal debates about near-death conditions.Arnold Mindell, PhD, is the creator of Process Oriented Psychology, a new school of therapy founded by a graduate of MIT in Boston and the Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland. Dr. Mindell is renowned for his groundbreaking integration of dreams and bodywork, Jungian psychology, group process, consciousness, shamanism, quantum physics, and small and big group conflict resolution. Dreambody, Sitting in the Fire, the Shaman's Body, and ProcessMind are just a few of his 20 books.
