Constructive Use of Destructive Forces Eugene Heimler

Can one benefit from suffering, pain and frustration? Prof. Dr. Eugene Heimler claims that that, what we experience as frustration, is our potential for satisfaction. Based on his method of Social Functioning we can transform our weakness and what we call 'negative' into strength and to our own satisfaction as well as to the benefit of society. A certain amount of frustration serves as a driving force in our lives, that we need in order to be creative. In this book using case studies Heimler describes how we can create a balance of satisfaction and frustration by means of the use of his "Method of Social Functioning" and the "Heimler Scale of Social Functioning", by observing and listening to ourselves. Eugene Heimler's self-help-method of Social Functioning was developed and tested and proved extraordinarily successful. In CONSTRUCTIVE USE OF DESTRUCTIVE FORCES Heimler describes in detail his interviewing- and therapy technique with individuals, couples and groups. His goal is to help them use their inner resources and past experiences. The Heimler Method is applied with those needing therapy as well as 'healthy' individuals who want to explore their unused potential; it is used by teachers to help students become more creative; in the relationship between employers and employees; as well as by social workers and other helping professions.
