Can we understand important social issues by studyingindividual personalities and decisions? Or are societies somehowmore than the people in them? Sociologists have long believed thatpsychology can't explain what happens when people work together incomplex modern societies. In contrast, most psychologists andeconomists believe that if we have an accurate theory of howindividuals make choices and act on them, we can explain prettymuch everything about social life. Social Emergence takes a newapproach to these longstanding questions. Sawyer argues thatsocieties are complex dynamical systems, and that the best way toresolve these debates is by developing the concept of emergence,focusing on multiple levels of analysis - individuals,interactions, and groups - and with a dynamic focus on how socialgroup phenomena emerge from communication processes amongindividual members. This book makes a unique contribution not onlyto complex systems research but also to social theory.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is commonly seen as thespiritual approach to craniosacral therapy (CST); in fact, BCST astaught by Franklyn Sills, the pioneer in the field, is quitedifferent from conventional CST. Biodynamic work is based on thedevelopment of perceptual skills where the practitioner learns tobecome sensitive to subtle respiratory motions called primaryrespiration and also to the power of spontaneous healing. Throughthe Breath of Life, which, Sills asserts, echoes the Holy Spirit inthe Judeo-Christian tradition, bodhicitta in Buddhism, andthe Tai Chi in Taoism, students of BCST learn to enter a state ofpresence oriented to the client’s inherent ability to heal. In Foundations in Craniosacral Biodynamics , Sills offersstudents and practitioners an in-depth, step-by-step guide to thedevelopment of perceptual and clinical skills with specificclinical exercises and explorations to help students andpractitioners learn the essentials of a biodynamic approach.Individual chapters cover s
