Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. At one point in the 1970s, 900 people were engaged with a therapeutic community in Toronto. Living together, and sharing emotional problems, the participants helped to create an institution owning houses, farms, and buildings. Therafields, the largest urban commune in Canada, was created by Lea Hindley-Smith, a woman from England with no formal training in therapy. But she exuded an astounding charisma, and developed ardent followers. Initially, students and faculty from St. Michaels College, University of Toronto, were drawn to her, and gradually the word spread that this woman had enormous power to listen, and to heal. Carpenters, poets, teachers, lost souls they all found a home in Torontos Annex neighbourhood. And according to one of her followers at the time, Lea was a gifted healer, a real estate entrepreneur and, as it turned out, a woman stalked by madness. When the real estate market turned sour in the late 1970s, the financial structure began to crumble. At the same time, Hindley-Smiths health started to fail, and by the early 1980s the movement had collapsed. Here, Grant Goodbrand reveals the behind-the-scenes story of Therafields. A behind-the-scenes look at a 1970s phenomenon, this study—written by someone who was involved in and a key member of the movement—discusses Therafields and how 900 people came to live in a therapeutic community in Toronto. The stories of the participants, who not only lived together but also helped build a real estate empire, and the charismatic but not accredited founder Lea Hindley-Smith are explored with unparalleled access to their lives. Also examining how the downfall of the commune coincided with the 1980s property bust, this is a comprehensive look at a therapeutic commune.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Must we destroy more than we create?Human exceptionalism is our conviction that we are not solely governed by natural laws. Our exceptionalism gives the universe meaning and it makes us superior to everything. This is a myth. We are trapped believing there is a radical break between nature and us. We have subjectively constructed an unreal world in our relationships, institutions, and belief systems.The real story is not human-centered. Science alone allows us to see ourselves from the outside, particularly through the law of entropy. This second law of thermodynamics prescribes the breakdown of organized particles into random ones that can never again be gathered into complex matter. We exist to participate in this mandate as part of the arc of the cosmos. We resist entropy but fail. This physical process underlies the conflicts within our species and social organizations as we try to amass matter but inevitably burn through it; create order and destroy it. How can we make ourselves safe in this world? Will we create a new species? In Entropy Rules, retired psychotherapist Grant Goodbrand - with over fifty years of experience helping individuals find personal meaning- explores how the laws of physics underlie our personal meanings and the values our species imposes. This offers us within the limits of natural law ameliorating alternatives to our destructive activities. How can we make ourselves safe in a world where order inevitably breaks down to randomness? Entropy Rules explores how the laws of physics underlie the values we impose, offering alternatives to our destructive activities. This item is printed on demand.
