Four Feelings And What To Do With Them: The Origins of Regenerative Human Culture

In the 1970's in Maryland, USA, a lone woman - Valerie Lankford - sitting in a psychiatric care center - Cathexis Institute - was challenged by her host - Jaqui Schiff - to "learn to think while feeling". Valerie's inner courage and determined clarity created the Thoughtmap of Four Feelings. Within a short time, this simple 'thoughtware upgrade' got Valerie out of the hospital and onto her feet as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (L.C.P.C.), and a Clinical Teaching Member of the International Transactional Analysis Association. During her long and fruitful career, Valerie helped thousands of people intelligently come to grips with their inner emotional world. But neither Valerie Lankford, nor the Transactional Analysis community with whom she shared her thoughtmap, could predict the breathtaking evolutions of human consciousness that would result from her invention. Four Feelings And What To Do With Them contains Valerie's original Four Feelings pamphlet, along with several of her published articles, all sandwiched between a startling Foreword and an extensive Afterword by Clinton Callahan, originator of Possibility Management. By looking backwards from a perspective fifty years in the future, it is easy to recognize the extraordinary value of this startling innovation. We at Thoughtware Press are honored to stand behind the claim that Valerie Lankford's Thoughtmap of Four Feelings is the origin of regenerative human culture on Earth. Read more
