Evolutionary Art Therapy ® / Marie-Odile Brêthes
Summary Back cover: Art therapy is a branch of psychology that is currently taking off. For the author, the encounter with the unconscious is fundamental in art therapy. Understanding the message of artistic production, accompanying the person in the exploration of his psyche, knowing the fundamentals of humanist psychology, allows the art therapist to accompany the person in the exploration of his creativity and in his development. . The goal of this work is to welcome his creative qualities, to awaken his energies of life and to open his heart. This book is an innovative art therapy proposal which consists of the transformation of the drawing by the practices of cutouts, collages, assemblies etc. which allow art-therapeutic expression to evolve until it expresses the most successful potential. Evolutionary art therapy offers care to the person on an emotional and mental level until the encounter with the Self, a spiritual level that Carl Jung and Roberto Assagioli have greatly explored. This art therapy work is therefore both personal care and support for the development of Being. Marie-Odile Brêthes shares the fruit of 20 years of art therapy and develops the philosophical concepts of this practice of evolutionary art therapy. In this book, many practical cases and examples of sessions and exercises support the proposal of a transpersonal art therapy, bringing together knowledge in humanist psychology, symbolism, art and contemporary spirituality.
Liberation from the Patriarchate / Marie-Odile Brêthes and Catherine Vallée
Summary Back cover: This essay takes up the protagonists of the myth of Genesis and proposes to revisit it. It demonstrates that Lilith, Eve, Adam and Yahweh are universal archetypes that take us back to the archaic times of the struggle of Matriarchy and Patriarchy. Still active in the collective unconscious, these archetypes still cause limiting unconscious psychological behaviors in our time. Today we remain in the grip of guilt and prohibitions of growth and experiences. Let's put an end to the sin of the flesh, the painful childbirth, the labor-torture that Adam transmitted to us, the fears of divine punishment which slow down our evolution and deprive us of our free will! Freeing ourselves from the Patriarchate will open the doors to creation and our realization. By unveiling these archetypes, the authors lead readers to discard, over the pages, the prohibitions of Eden and to open up to "neotypes". To get out of the current dead ends, Humanity has no other choice than to orient itself towards the fruits of the Tree of Life, that is to say the joy of living and loving. Thus humans will flourish in fullness by developing their creative capacities!
Reconciling with the ego / Alain Brêthes
Summary Back cover: Reconciling with the ego, here is an unusual idea! Usually, the ego is seen as the immature who refuses to grow, the keeper of going around in circles, the rebel, the one who develops complex strategies and causes many evils. He is also seen by some as an enemy to be muzzled, if not to be "broken". This ego, Alain Brêthes calls it the old ego. What if you allowed him to transform, to light up and to love? What if you let the self-centered part of the limiting ego dissipate and make way for the altruistic part of the fruitful ego in you? Ego which had not been revealed until then and which was waiting to be awakened to Plenitude. Throughout the pages, you will walk with the ego within you. First, you will observe the old ego to disidentify yourself from it. Then you will open yourself to the creative qualities and the spiritual potential of the new ego. Thus, it can bloom in your life.
