It's got an interesting cover but I didn't have any idea what to think.
I was given it by a friend and so i gave it a quick read whilst on the train.
I missed three stops as I read on and on.
I didn't mind missing the stops.
This book should be a must read for anyone who has children or is into making life better.
It's really a very good book and such an easy to approach writing manner.
Marian Volkman, wherever you are, I salute you!

Applied Metapsychology makes use of one on one sessions to achieve personal goals. Developed by Frank A.

People who study and use Metapsychology report living a fuller and more fulfilled life, with less fear, depression and unhappiness than the general population.

Written in a manner that will appeal to therapists, laypersons and students, this book will assist the user in more accurately predicting patterns of human behavior and dealing with negative situations, people and behaviors. It's a truly user friendly volume on exapanding personal understanding of your own behavior, motivations, ambitions, deep seated issues, relationship style and communication abilities. She has formatted the book in a way that makes it ideal for group study as well as personal use. While offering a broad background of metapsychology, each aspect is written in extreme detail and ease of understanding and utilization. The author presents a wide and varied wealth of information in easily digestible sections.
Topics of study in this book include quality of life, stress and trauma as a factor in life, understanding emotions and predicting them, improving relationship in all the areas of your life: family, work, friends, etc. I found this book to be really motivational and thought provoking. I know it's one I will turn to again and again as situations arise and problems need resolution. Highly recommended, I look forward to much more from this author.

About the author
Marian was born to parents who were interested in a wide range of things, especially the development of human potential. Exposed to interesting people having interesting discussions on this topic from a tender age, she grew up thinking that everyone had such discussions and such fascinating visitors at home. She had a shock when she moved away from home for the first time. University life was some sort of transition since study and thinking were at least tangentially involved. Out in the wide world, she sometimes felt like an alien. She studied psychology, biology, and English literature, but then struck off on an adventure of learning. Marian traveled and studied with friends of her parents and friends of their friends, for an eclectic education all aimed toward discovering and developing the potential of which she felt sure human beings were capable. From the age of 21 she was using regression work (hypnosis and other methods) in pursuit of the goal to relieve people of the sufferings that seemed to block them from full use of their abilities. In 1984, she met Frank A. Gerbode, M.D. through mutual friends and was immediately drawn to the subject of TIR that he was in the process of developing and to the group of interested seekers he had working with him. It felt like home. Since that time, Marian has worked extensively with Dr. Gerbode in the development of new techniques and in writing and editing new training materials for practitioners of TIR and Metapsychology. In 1997, Marian documented her extensive training and experience in the field of trauma resolution and gained her Certified Trauma Specialist (CTS) from the Association for Traumatic Stress Specialists (ATSS). She has presented on various TIR and Metapsychology-related topics at many conferences since then, including ATSS annual conferences. She has been in private practice for nearly all of the past 36 years. She travels extensively doing professional training in the US, Canada, and Europe. Her interests include: quality of life, gardening, travel, cooking, reading, telepathy, inter-species communication, and the nature of consciousness. She is married to author and publisher Victor R. Volkman and has one grown child, Stephanie. She has a work of fiction in publication: Turtle Dolphin Dreams (2005) and has four more books "in the works" from Loving Healing Press (www.LovingHealing.com).
