From the Holocaust to the destruction of the World Trade Center, evil human acts continue to defy all attempts at explanation. This collection of lectures on evil by prominent scholars, writers, theologians and philosophers resonates powerfully as a guide to these dark forces and will help conceptualize a plan for action against them. Included are contributions by Maya Angelou, M. Scott Peck, Rollo May, Raul Hilberg, Samuel Proctor, and others.

Facing evil: Light at the core of darkness

Woodruff, Paul B.

Philosophy

Open Court

When is a relationship too close, and when is it not close enough? How intimate can or should be the relationship between therapist and client, doctor and patient, supervisor and trainee? These questions of pressing concern--especially where power imbalances and ethical issues complicate relationships--are addressed by Joseph L. Henderson, June Singer, Peter Rutter, Montague Ullman, Diane Wood Middlebrook, Harry A. Wilmer, and eight other writers.

Self-Help

Shambhala

Here is the world of Carl Gustav Jung, the great Swiss psychologist, applied to the real world of the therapist's office. Dr. Wilmer explores the Jungian approach in a deceptively light style, bringing not only his years of experience but his special wit, wisdom, and skill as an illustrator. 
Anyone interested in the process of psychotherapy—from beginning students to experienced practitioners, and even those in therapy, will gain a fresh understanding and new insights, while enjoying many a few chuckles along the way.

Harry Wilmer has a talent for taking the most complex and esoteric elements of Jungian theory and explaining them in a straightforward, amusing, and engaging manner. This sequel to Practical Jung offers humorous anecdotes and a wealth of useful information for teachers, therapists, social workers, pastoral counselors, and anyone who has ever wanted to know or understand more about Jungian ideas.Wilmer writes, in the Introduction to Understandable Jung:“Shall we begin with gods and goddesses, mandalas, minotaurs, and alchemy, with quaternities and conjunctionis, and that sort of thing? Not by a long shot! Understandable Jung is an attempt in present Jung’s ideas (both simple and deep) in clear language through sketches I have made, images, photographs, and cartoons of the humorous side of our deep psyches. This book addresses the personal side of Jungian Psychology based on my personal participation in the act of understanding.”You won't find anything better, not only for someone who is just beginning to take their dreams seriously, but also for those who find working with dreams a frustrating, baffling affair.     - Round Table ReviewOnce I picked up the book I couldn’t put it down…there are sections I know I will return to, to read again and still again.  ...Some of the book had me laughing, some had me doubting, some had me wanting to debate, but in the end it is a volume of poetry that no mental health professional can read without becoming a better psychotherapist.     -James M. A. Weiss, M.D., Journal of Integrative and Eclectic PsychologyConsistently he is humorous, playful, serious, and even touching. The overall style of this text, with its quotations, diagrams, pictures, commentaries and cartoons, differs from other introductory books…. The diversity, scope, and at times, ambiguity of the material presented stimulates active interaction between the text and the reader.     -Nancy Robinson, Psychological PerspectivesThis book would be a treat for someone really interested in Jungian psychotherapy or for someone with a room full of clients they would like to counsel more effectively.     -Elisabeth Nachtwey, SSC BooknewsHarry A. Wilmer, M.D., is president, director, and founder of the Institute for the Humanities at Salado, Texas. He is a senior analyst in the international society of Jungian Analysts and a member of the International Association for Analytical Psychology.  He has published thirteen books and 190 articles, held many important positions, and persued many interesting projects.  He is the author of Practical Jung: The Nuts and Bolts of Jungian Psychology, to which the book forms a sequel. 

Here is the thought of Carl Gustav Jung, the great Swiss psychologist, applied to the real world of the therapist's office. Dr. Wilmer explores the Jungian approach in a deceptively light style, bringing not only his years of experience but his special wit, wisdom, and skill as an illustrator. Anyone interested in the process of psychotherapy-from beginning students to experienced practitioners, and even those in therapy themselves-will gain a new understanding and new insights, enjoying many a chuckle along the way.
Harry Wilmer's Practical Jung puts you on the couch for greater perception, occasional laughter, and in-depth self-study. - Liz Carpenter, Former White House Executive Assistant and First Lady's Staff Director and Press Secretary;
Wilmer has outdone himself-which is not easy. There is no taint of cultism in this unique book. Best of all he demonstrates the value of subjectivity. What he is shines through-not just what he knows, though he is very scholarly. His drawings, as of yore, are out of this world-sometimes literally. I wouldn 't have thought any new books about Jung could be written, but he has hit the bullseye. The 'Nuts and Bolts' are something Henry Ford would be proud of, and his [Rules of] Thumb work is not to be sneezed at. Wilmer lets Jung speak for himself, and Wilmer speaks for himself, including Jung's effect on him. - Joseph B. Wheelwright, M.D., Former President, International Association for Analytical Psychology, Professor Emeritus, University of California, San Francisco
I am deeply impressed by Wilmer's enormous creativity . . . . It is certainly impressive, on the one hand, how he manages to "make Jung easy" and, on the other, how genuinely Jungian he is with his patients. I should like to declare that if there is a genuine Jungian in the U.S., it is a certain Harry Wilmer. - C. A. Meier, M.D., Professor Emeritus, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich
