Interviews
1. Dreams: A Formative Perspective $20
Stanley Keleman, (1931-2018), author, founder and developer of Formative Psychology©, talks to Leila Cohn, founder director of the Centro de Psicologia Formativa© do Brasil (Brazilian Center of Formative Psychology©), about his Formative view of dreams. In his words: "The dream is a way the body talks to itself about its dilemmas and the means by which it can rehearse different action patterns about situations that require another way of behaving. It's not a symbolic representation. The real intention of dreaming is to be able to change how we act in different situations".
2. Quantum Dynamics in the Human Experience $20
Stanley Keleman interviewed about his vision of the quantum process in the human experience. Keleman had been developing his innovative vision of the human embodied process for over 50 years and in his last years he started his research on quantum dynamics applied to the bodily processes. In his words: "Quantum mechanics is about how we function as a wave, how we function in the field of particles. This is very similar to how the organism is organizing how it is in the world and making discrete actions possible that are part of a pattern, it is about understanding how we make contact which is an event in which we are in the wave of feeling or motion. Quantum dynamics allows you to expand the field of human experiencing. And that is my interest."
3. Living Your Older Age $20
Stanley Keleman talks about his vision of the Aging Process, in his words: "Aging is a learning process, not a loss. I do not call it a loss when the body is changing its structure. In fact, we need less muscle mass when our metabolic activity slows down. A change in energy or attention doesn't mean that something is lost, it means that we have a challenge to use ourselves differently. And that is a big difference!"
4. Vivendo o Nosso Envelhecimento $20
Stanley Keleman (1931-2018), criador da Psicologia Formativa© em Berkeley, California e autor de Anatomia Emocional entre outros titulos, realizou o projeto "Entrevistas com Stanley Keleman" com Leila Cohn, diretora fundadora do Centro de Psicologia Formativa© do Brasil. Nesta entrevista Keleman fala sobre maturidade, longevidade e envelhecimento sob o olhar da Psicologia Formativa. Nas suas palavras: "Envelhecer é um processo de aprendizagem, não uma perda, eu não chamo de perda quando o corpo está mudando sua estrutura. A medida que adquirimos anos de vida, há mudanças no metabolismo, na memória e na experiência de tempo. Ser mais velho requer aprender a comportar-se de um modo diferente, dando suporte à estrutura muscular que está presente no momento, ao invés de tentar imitar como você costumava ser anteriormente. Isto requer formar novas memórias e novos modos de ser no mundo.
