POPULAR PSYCHOLOGY "A fascinating, brilliant book on an extremely important subject," as one reviewer has said. Philip Harland is uniquely placed to write it, having worked for an extended period with the originator of the approach, the innovative and highly regarded therapist, the late David Grove, creator of Clean Language and Therapeutic Metaphor. What is EMERGENT KNOWLEDGE, what are the POWERS OF SIX, and what role do they play in therapy, counseling, coaching, and self-development? In this account by a leading authority in the field, you will learn a great deal that is new about the psychology and the step-by-step practicality of change. When conventional commonsense or intelligence fail us, the Power of Six is a means of tapping into the reservoirs of our own wisdom. More information at www.powersofsix.com

Psychology/therapy/coaching/health/self-help. "Let my heart be wise. It is the gods' best gift." An illustrated guide to understanding and working with emotion and cognition for therapists, counselors, coaches, teachers, managers, and health professionals. Psychotherapist Philip Harland relates recent scientific research on the inter-dependency of feeling and thinking to David Grove's work in Clean Language and Therapeutic Metaphor. He describes powerful new ways of enhancing emotional intelligence that will be of value to clients and facilitators alike.

In the 1980s David Grove devised a technique called Clean Language for healing patients with traumatic memories, such as child abuse or wartime trauma. The process enabled patients to resolve the effects of their experiences through visualisation and metaphor. He converted the work into a spatial technique called Emergent Knowledge and his techniques have attracted practitioners from all over the world including the UK, Europe, America, Australia and New Zealand. Performance Coaching pioneer Carol Wilson worked with David until his death in 2008, developing courses to train coaches and business psychologists to use his methods in the workplace, in order to relieve mental blocks and limiting behavioural patterns such as fear of public speaking, bullying and thwarted personal potential. This book is the most comprehensive work so far published about David Grove and contains a record not only of his work with Carol, but with leading practitioners across the world, including detailed descriptions of techniques, case histories and biographical details of David’s life. Performance Coaches and Leadership Practitioners will be able to enhance their existing techniques by incorporating ideas, methods and principles from this book. It will help experienced and potential practitioners to gain an overview and a history of David Grove, and to know where to go for further research and learning.

Based on her successful work across a range of schools, this book consists of 10 sessions that make up a programme to help students who are at risk of exclusion. Each session has detailed facilitator notes and accompanying worksheets on the CD-Rom. The young people learn how to think, communicate, behave and relate to each other and other people in more useful ways. The book offers: - content that works for schools, Pupil Referral Units and any setting working with young people on behaviour management; - advice on dealing with common pitfalls and difficult scenarios; - guidance on how to work with parents and carers to help them understand how they can reinforce the approach at home; - activities that work with the 10 to 18 age range. Everything in this book has been tried and tested with young people who are at risk within their school settings, and for most of them it has been a turning point in their lives.

Looking for easy, effective, and creative ways to engage your client's deeper knowledge of their learning and healing processes? Psychotherapist David Grove had an insatiable curiosity about how a client subconsciously structures his experience and how change at the subconscious level happens. With a deep respect for the accumulated wisdom in a client's internal world, Grove determined to find ways to keep the facilitator from contaminating the client's experience while fostering self-discovery and self-healing. The result is Clean Language, carefully-worded questions incorporating a client's exact words coupled with strategic processes that create ideal conditions for a client to learn more about himself. The Clean facilitator directs his client's attention, trusting that as the client collects information about his mind and body systems' strengths and weaknesses, insights and confusions, strategies and maladaptations, the system learns from itself, heals, and grows. Discover twelve easy-to-learn Clean Language processes that combine the science of emergence and Metaphor Therapy as only creative innovator David Grove could. Clean Language expert Gina Campbell presents twelve Grovian processes for therapists, coun-selors, coaches, and other helping and healing professionals looking for ways to guide their clients in experiential self-exploration. From among the many process Grove developed, Campbell has selected ones that are easy to master and easy to use. You will learn step by step how to facilitate clients to access their inner knowledge and experiences by projecting them onto a drawing or into the surrounding physical space. Spread out before them, your clients'deeper understandings and perspectives readily reveal themselves. "Gina Campbell has marshaled an admirable array of material into a wonderful resource.

Whether you are a new coach or an established therapist, your clients will be delighted with how elegantly you facilitate them to find their own resources and solutions.

James Lawley and Penny Tompkins, authors of Metaphors in Mind: Transformation through Symbolic Modelling

If you've completed Campbell's first workbook of this pair, you know without a doubt that personal metaphors matter. Resourceful ones can empower and sustain clients. Problematic ones can prevent clients from making the internal shifts they desire. Is there more you can do to help your clients when they want to change such metaphors? Absolutely! As a helping or healing professional, you will find this second workbook a welcome continuation of what you learned of David Grove's Clean Language and James Lawley and Penny Tompkins' Symbolic Modeling in Basics Part One: Facilitating Clarity. Step-by-step, Basics Part Two: Facilitating Change teaches you how to help your clients transform the mind/body metaphors that color their perceptions and guide their life choices to support healthier and happier living.
