Therapists-in-training and their schools Practitioners of NLP, Ericksonian hypnosis, Brief
Therapy and Family Therapy. Parents wanting alternative constructive ways to
relate to their children Anyone looking to make sense of their marriages and
personal relationships General Self-Help audiences Business people and professional communicators Priests and spiritual counselors Enneagram teachers and their students Catholics in general. The Enneagram has a sizable
following in Catholic circles. The subject of several recent best-selling books, the Enneagram is a powerful overview of human psychological types. The Enneagram is about people - how we are the same, how we are different, what makes us tick. It presents an organized system that describes the nine core personality styles that human beings tend to favor. The Enneagram's description of these styles is profound, comprehensive and penetrating. Newcomers to the system are often stunned to discover uncannily accurate portraits of themselves, their friends, coworkers, parents and intimates. The Enneagram is on a fast and steady-rising arc of popularity. 1994's First International Enneagram Conference at Stanford University attracted 1400 people. 1997's Conference at Towson University in Baltimore, Maryland was similarly well-attended. Helen Palmer's The Enneagram In Love and Work was on the New York Times Bestseller list. Her recent business book, The Enneagram Advantage, has spent several weeks on the San Francisco Bay Area Bestseller list. The popular media has showcased the Enneagram with articles in Newsweek, Mademoiselle, Esquire, Psychology Today, Teen, Selling, and dozens of newspapers. The Enneagram has been featured in a new Time-Life series on psychology and figured significantly in Tony Schwartz's recent book, What Really Matters. Upcoming magazine articles are slated for Cosmopolitan, Common Boundary and Self. The two earliest books on the Enneagram, published in 1987 and 1988, continue to sell steadily and well. While there are well over a million books already sold on the Enneagram but they are primarily about diagnosis. There is a dearth of solid material about what to do after you have identified your personality style. With the subject well established by the best-selling works of Helen Palmer and Don Richard Riso, the next big area of interest is in the Enneagram's applications, especially as a tool for personal evolution. Thomas Condon has worked with the Enneagram
since 1980. He has taught classes at Antioch University, and
the University of California, Berkeley, as well as hundreds of
workshops in the U.S. and Europe. He is the author of 50 audiotapes
and two books. |
