Bibliography

From Notes

When Marshall teaches he makes frequent references to research and literature. To learn, we don't need to know any more beyond what he quotes. But to really broaden your base of understanding you will get quite a different flavour of the foundations by reading the original works cited. For example reading Alfie Kohn's book really deepens your insight and confidence in the limitations of rewards and punishment as a way of influencing behaviour.

We are gathering these references together here. As we study them we will add a page and commentary for each one.

Those works we have already studied prior to the wikipedia project are in the bibliographic database. We'll work on pages for those next.

Works quoted by Marshall that we don't yet have, or have not yet read:

• Carl Rogers - "On Becoming a Person". Marshall cites Rogers briefly on empathy, and Rogers works are quite detailed on exactly what empathic understanding involves. Rogers was also one of Marshall's teachers, and if you read his works, you will see much that is familiar, and from a different perspective.
• Milton Rokeach - "The open and closed mind", 1966. Rokeach, 1918-88 was a Professor of psychology at Michigan State Univ. A study on the extent to which the teachings of various religions engenders compassion in their adherents.
• O.J. Harvey - University of Colorado. Cited by Marshall as researching the correlation between printed use of 'to be' in the sense of judgement in a culture, and violence. One place where he cites this is on the NVC training course ch 11 of 75 'four friends', 3 mins 31 seconds in.
• Manfred Max-Neef - human development theory (available as a download apparently)?
• Ruth Benedict - anthropologist, relevant to process languages
• Margaret Mead - anthropologist, relevant to process languages (a student of Ruth Benedict)
• Gary Chapman Five Love Languages - in reference to love as a need, rather than a feeling.
• Alfred Korzybski - on general semantics, and the map is not the teritory
• Gene Sharp - on the protective use of force. Paraphrased as reviving Hume's paradox. Seminal work "The Politics of Nonviolent Action" 1973. 198 methods of nonviolent action is a 2 page pdf summary of nonviolent strategies.
• Robert Lifkin - cited as studying the relation of language to violence. I haven't been able to track this down at all as yet, maybe the name is different?
• Paul Torrance that creativity is inversly proportional to the time spent in education.
• John Powell the secret of staying in love. The realisation of the need to express gratitude, and what stops you doing it.
• Earnest Becker revolution in psychiatry. Depression defined as congnitively arrested alternatives.
• Michael Lerner - "Spirit Matters" - on misrecognised needs. Quoted on the "Needs and Empathy" CD.
• Sarah Brethnach - "Simple Abundance" - cited on 'giraffe fuel for life' for a rich example of a gratitude journal. Marshall had thought he'd invented the idea until he read that book "and I saw to what limits, and with what art she shows people how to keep a gratitude journal".
