This book lays the foundation for a way of helping another person to improve rapidly and profoundly the quality of her life. This approach is unique in that it is both directive and non-judgmental. It provides guidance, yet allows the person being helped to reach her own understandings and make her own judgments without receiving interpretations, approval, or disapproval. Since anyone can stand to improve the quality of her life in some way, anyone can benefit from the techniques discussed in this book. Nevertheless, at present, these methods are directed toward people who are of average or above-average mental stability and who are not severely disturbed or psychotic. They are not psychotherapy and are no substitute for therapeutic intervention in severe cases. I hope that one day ways will be found of applying the principles of metapsychology to the task of helping these very needy people. Meanwhile, the techniques discussed herein can help the vast majority. Like any other general subject of study, metapsychology is not committed to a specific method, although methods exist as applications of metapsychology, nor to a fixed belief system, although theories exist within the subject of metapsychology. It picks up where psychology, as the science of behavior, leaves off. Hence the name "meta-psychology" has the correct connotation of being a study that goes "beyond" psychology -- beyond the study of behavior to the study of that which behaves -- the person himself -- and the person's perceptual, conceptual, and creative activity, as distinguished from the actions of his body. In this sense, "metapsychology" restores the original meaning of "psychology" as "the study of the psyche, or spirit", and the applications of metapsychology reflect the perennial common goal of therapies, religions, and traditional philosophies, whether one calls this goal the attainment of sanity, of enlightenment, of happiness, of wisdom, or of salvation. Throughout this book, I will be constantly consulting experiences that I believe we all have in common, as the basis for the points I am going to make. By consulting his own experience, the reader can verify or falsify for himself each of these points. I have assisted this process by including occasional brief exercises. These exercises will greatly enhance the reader's understanding and will allow each reader to verify for himself the points made in the book. My only claim for acceptance of the ideas I am presenting is the assumption that different people have a great deal in common in what they experience and the way in which they experience it. This interpersonal commonality of experience is the fundamental truth that the metapsychological approach provides. It took me many years of thinking and exploring a variety of different fields to arrive, eventually, at the conviction that this approach was best. Along the way, many different people and schools of thought have influenced my thinking. I turned to psychiatry in the belief that psychiatrists must have a practical knowledge of life. After all, were they not daily involved in helping people solve their problems? For some reason, perhaps because my father was a physician, it never occurred to me to become a psychologist. During my five years at Yale Medical School, I was fortunate to receive a Freudian analysis from Dr. James Kleeman, a man whose personal characteristics, warmth, and ability to create a safe and therapeutic environment set a standard that has stayed with me ever since. I am sure I have incorporated many elements of his manner into my own style of helping. At least I hope I have. During my residency training at Stanford University Medical Center, I had the valuable experience of working with Paul Watzlawick and others at the Mental Research Institute in Palo Alto. They showed me that a very unorthodox way of helping people could be quite effective. During this time, I was profoundly disturbed by the work of Truex, Carkhuff, and others, who showed that the effectiveness of many current psychological approaches was by no means established. I had also observed a lack of agreement amongst my teachers and colleagues with respect to diagnosis, prognosis, and recommended modes of therapy. In fact, there was no widely agreed-upon science or method in psychology. Each practitioner ultimately had to make up her own mind about what to do with each individual case. I was disheartened to find that the practical, predictable method for helping people I had hoped to find in psychiatry was not there. Also, having read several of Thomas Szasz's brilliant books, I became profoundly uneasy with the idea that helping someone to become happier had to be a medical or quasi-medical ("therapeutic") action. Therefore, while completing the last two years of my residency, I began to look outside of the more traditional schools of psychology and psychiatry. I looked into Gestalt therapy and encounter groups; I attended Esalen functions; I tried Psychocybernetics and Yoga. This book is organized in three parts. Part One deals with the basic philosophical underpinnings and theory of metapsychology, Part Two provides a useful categorization of the the various disabilities or undesired conditions that may arise in a person's life, and Part Three presents a theory of personal enhancement and some examples of the very effective techniques currently used by practitioners of applied metapsychology. The viewpoint I am consistently trying to take in this book is that of the world as seen by an individual person at a particular time. If you find yourself outraged by something I am saying, before throwing the book down in disgust, try checking to see if, in the situation being described, you would experience the world that way and, if so, realize that that's what I am talking about. I encourage the reader to check each of my points against her own personal experience. The goal of metapsychology is to describe universal characteristics of experience, so what I have to say should either ring true when compared to carefully observed personal experience or stand disproved by that experience.

Person-Centered Techniques put You Back in Control of Your Destiny Metapsychology is the science of human nature and experience as viewed by you--the one who experiences--from the inside out, not by an outside "expert" trying to look in. The methods of "Applied Metapsychology" recognize you as the authority at the center of your world of experience, and provide tools to enable you to improve personal relationships, increase personal power, and fashion your world into the loving, fascinating, and fulfilling place you always wanted it to be. Readers of this book will learn... The principles and methodology of Applied Metapsychology, a truly effective method for understanding yourself, your own mind, and your world of experience. The principles of Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR), a technique for resolving the traumatic incidents that build upon each other to produce a network of distress that can lead to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) . Specific other techniques to help you address the issues which concern you most--relationships, job satisfaction, and unwanted emotions such as grief and anger. A systematic method of case-planning for designing coherent and effective strategies for achieving these ends in a relatively short period of time.
