The Bible of Journal Writing

Almost all current authors on journaling owe a great debt to this work by Ira Progoff, the grandfather of modern journal writing. This book is not an easy read but worth the time to get yourself oriented to the author's views about jounaling and psychology.

A powerful guide for personal recovery and growth

By all means, try to attend a journal writing workshop sponsored by Dialogue House, and read this book as well. It will extend the workshop's effect in your life and deepen your appreciation of Progoff's work in the areas of spirituality, recovery and social transfornation. This edition of Progoff's classic integrates prior work covered in his other books on Holistic Depth Psychology, Life Study, Process and Creatvity,...

Soundly based in Jungian theory and the theories of other...

Exercises include work with dialogues, dreams, twilight images, and steppingstones. Adapted from the IJ workshops offered by Dialogue House, this book is an excellent resource...
