The Indigo Children: The New Kids Have Arrived
(Lee Carrol, Jan Tober)
Do you think your child is special? Well, perhaps he or she is! The authors have collected essays by dozens of doctors, counselors, and other childhood experts that seem to document the arrival on earth of a newly evolved species of humankind referred to here as an "indigo" child.

Intuition and Ego States: The Origins of Transactional Analysis
(Eric Berne)
A collection of Dr. Berne's early papers in which he begins to outline the theories of transactional analysis, beginning with a paper from 1949, called "The Nature of Intuition." In this he discusses intuition. The real gem is the paper "Transactional Analysis: A New and Effective Method of Group Therapy" published in The American Journal of Psychotherapy in 1958; it is where he first introduces the term Transactional Analysis.

Invisible Partners
(John Sanford)
Addressing the Jungian concept of the contra-sexual in which men have a feminine archetype (called the anima) in their psyches, and women have a corresponding masculine archetype (called the animus) in their psyches, this book shows how these forces have profound effects upon our lives, especially upon our relationships with persons of the opposite sex.

Jung: A Biography
(Deirdre Bair)
As Sigmund Freud's influence has waned over the years, Jung's ideas—the collective unconscious, the archetypal myths underpinning all societies, synchronicity, "New Age" spirituality, and much more—have achieved an overwhelming ascendancy. Bair addresses the myths about Jung—accusations that he was an anti-Semite and a misogynist, and that he falsified data—with evidence from his own writings and from those of his colleagues and former patients.

Jung on Death and Immortality
(C. G. Jung; ed. by Jenny Yates)
Here collected for the first time are Jung's views on death and immortality, his writings often coinciding with the death of the most significant people in his life. The book shows many of the major themes running throughout the writings, including the relativity of space and time surrounding death, the link between transference and death, and the archetypes shared among the world's religions at the depths of the Self.

Jung's Psychology and Tibetan Buddhism: Western and Eastern Paths to the Heart (Wisdom East-West Book)
(Radmila Moacanin)
The essence of Jung's psychology and Tibetan Buddhism cuts to the heart of two very different yet remarkably similar traditions: the collective unconscious and karma, archetypes and deities, the analyst and the spiritual friend, and mandalas. Within Tibetan Buddhism she focuses on tantra and relates its emphasis on spiritual transformation, also a major concern of Jung.

Left Brain, Right Brain: Perspectives From Cognitive Neuroscience (Series of Books in Psychology)
(George Deutsch, Sally P. Springer)
Explores hemispheric asymmetries in the brain, covering insights from surgical separation of the hemispheres, the link made between psychology and physiology with neuroimaging, behavioral approaches to asymmetry, sex differences in cognition and asymmetry, animal asymmetries, hemispheric specialization, and the mind-body quandary.

Lefties The Origin and Consequences of Being Left-Handed
(Jack Finclier)
What minority group claims Jack the Ripper, Leonardo da Vinci, the Boston Strangler and Marilyn Monroe among its members? Lefties — one of the largest minority groups in the land. For every lefty tired of living in a right-handed world, this witty and wise guide to the facts and findings, legend and lore of the so-called "sinister people," is a welcome bookshelf addition. From handshakes to school desks and scissors to baseball mitts, every lefty knows the world is geared toward the right-handed. What most southpaws don't know, however, about their own uniqueness is covered in these pages. Why is there this enduring disparity in human-handedness? For what reason has history so preferred our right and singled out our left for such unrelenting infamy? If, as Plato concluded, there is nothing natural about it, how are we to explain such a persisting and curious phenomenon? The perfect gift for the Lefty in your life.
