by Artur Reber (2003)
In this dictionary Professor Reber resolves some of the problems raised by psychological terms. It is, however, much more than a compendium of raw definitions. As well as focusing on what a given technical description means, the author shows how the term is actually employed, its connotations and how it has been used - and abused- in the past. The result is a volume of enormous interest, written with the broadest possible audience in mind.

This A-Z analyzes and explains numerous symbols and images and makes them specific to their use in counselling. Many are developed by the addition of possible psychological interpretations. The categorization of the schematic structure of the symbols aims to provide an easy reference.
Hung Ying-ming
In three hundred and fifty-seven verses, the author, Hung Ying-ming, a seventeenth-century Chinese sage, explores good and evil, honesty and deception, wisdom and foolishness, heaven and hell. He draws from the wisdom of the "Three Creeds" - Taoism, Confucianism, and Zen Buddhism - to impress upon us that by combining simple elegance with the ordinary, we can make our lives into art. This sense permeates Chinese and Japanese culture to this day.--From back cover.
