Discovering Your Self is a personal account which examines the psychological walls we build around us. In it, Reinhard Kowalski, a consultant clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, develops his model of psychotherapy and psychosynthesis in a personal, psychological, clinical and political way. The result is a psychological guidebook through an increasingly complex, changing and confusing inner and outer world. His exploration draws on re-formulated cognitive behaviour therapy, stress management, and psychosynthesis psychotherapy, as well as Leontyev's activity theory, and the works of Grof, Wilber, and Masterson. In addition, Douthwaite's economic considerations and the process of German unification, with its symbolism of the wall coming down, are discussed in a psychotherapeutic way. The discovery of self, is seen as a process that needs constantly to deal with breaking walls and building bridges between the different aspects and levels of our being. Throughout the book there are experiential exercises and meditations, based in psychosynthesis, that are relevant for therapists and for individuals who are on their own journey of personal growth.
