'A complex work, well designed and structured, and rooted in philosophy and psychology... Several of the chapters culminate in exercises, generally to be carried out with a partner. They underline the points Heron makes in his theoretical exposition in an enjoyable way and would form part of an exploration of different psychological approaches and theories... The wide range and ambition of the book, as well as its concepts, make it interesting. It is presented as a "challenging alternative to traditional reason-centred and ego-bound psychology" and as such will be welcomed for its different perspectives by those running courses' - Counselling, The Journal of the British Association for Counselling 'The book will find an avid following amongst those involved in humanistic approaches to psychology and co-counsellors who will value the hundred experiential exercises... the strength of the book lies in its detailed treatment of models of personhood.

A review such as this cannot do justice to the extent to which Heron has successfully used diagrams to amplify the complex ideas within his text... there is much to commend this book.

Synopsis
This book presents a theory of the person, which does not regard reason, the consciousness of self or freedom as distinguishing marks, but "feeling". The author distinguishes feeling from its complement, emotion, and defines it as resonance with being, the capacity to be unified with what is present. He relates his approach to the theory and practice of a transpersonal psychology and philosophy. John Heron explores in depth the nature of feeling, and the imaginal mind as the home of intuition and imagery; devotes several chapters to learning and the idea that feeling and imagination are the bases of the intellect; considers how personhood unfolds through various stages; contrasts the constricted ego with the integrated person; looks at both the theory and practice of a spiritual philosophy; provides 100 exercises to enable the reader to translate theoretical concepts into personal experience. He relates his approach to the theory and practice of a transpersonal psychology and philosophy. John Heron is also author of "Helping the Client"., A theory of the person which considers feeling. The book distinguishes feeling from emotion, and defines it as resonance with being, the capacity to be unified with what is present. It relates this to the theory and practice of a transpersonal psychology and philosophy., John Heron presents a radical new theory of the person in which feeling , differentiated from emotion, becomes the distinctive feature of personhood. The book explores the applications of Herons ideas to living and learning and includes numerous experiential exercises. Central to Herons analysis are interrelationships between four basic psychological modes - affective, imaginal, conceptual and practical. In particular, feeling is seen as the ground and potential from which all other aspects of the psyche emerge - emotion, intuition, imaging of all kinds, reason, discrimination, intention and action. The author also shows the fundamental relation of his ideas to theory and practice in transpersonal psychology and phi, John Heron presents a radical new theory of the person in which feeling , differentiated from emotion, becomes the distinctive feature of personhood.
