KOWALSKI
Reinhard
Kowalski did his psychology degree in West Berlin in the 70's. This
was followed by behaviour therapy training at the Middlesex Hospital
in London and a clinical psychology training within the NHS. During
his 14 years clinical psychology career, Reinhard also trained as
a psychosynthesis psychotherapist, and subsequently worked as a
psychotherapy trainer and supervisor.
Under the Joliko label he is selling his unique
Relaxation Tools CD, which he produced with musician Steve Jones
and aromatherapist Lyn Lidiard.
The CD allows you to 'mix' your own relaxation
exercise using spoken words, original music, and nature sounds.
He has published widely on clinical psychology
and psychotherapy in national and international journals. His first
book 'Over the Top' was published by Winslow in 1987. In his second
book |
'Discovering Your Self - Breaking Walls, Building
Bridges', published by Routledge in 1993, he tries to combine cognitive
behavioiur therapy with the psycho-spiritual approaches of psychosynthesis.
He is now developing a therapy which he calls
MindBalancing, and his latest book 'The Only Way Out is In' (to
be published) lays the groundwork for this. In his new approach
Reinhard wants to apply the ancient wisdom of ayurvedic psychology
to the pressing emotional and mental problems of our culture. It
is a therapy of consciousness, using the science of yoga and the
methodology of meditation. Many cognitive and behavioural methods,
which are often dismissed as 'superficial', seem to go very well
with such deeply spiritual work.
Reinhard
founded the Sattva Partnership to promote the application of Vedic
wisdom to people's psychological and
psycho-physical problems.
