Ron Kurtz et Donna Martin se sont rencontr s en 1990. Ron et Donna ont commenc enseigner ensemble presque imm diatement et, peu pr s la m me poque, Ron a eu l'inspiration pour la pratique de la pr sence bienveillante. On peut dire que lorsque l'esprit est calme, le coeur fait le travail. La recherche a confirm que le pr dicteur le plus important pour un r sultat th rapeutique r ussi est la qualit de la relation du th rapeute avec le client. Ron a reconnu que l' tat d'esprit id al pour les th rapeutes - qui peut tre cultiv avec la pratique - tait ce qu'il a appel la "pr sence bienveillante". Non seulement Ron a reconnu la puissance de cet tat d'esprit pour les th rapeutes (ainsi que pour toute personne ayant une relation significative), mais il a pu brillamment articuler une s quence d' tapes pour cultiver cette fa on d' tre. Ron souhaitait que la pratique de la pr sence bienveillante soit mise la disposition du plus grand nombre de personnes possible. C'est l'immense contribution au monde que Ron Kurtz nous a l gu e.

Ron Kurtz and Donna Martin met in 1990. Ron and Donna began teaching together almost immediately and at around the same time, Ron had the inspiration for the practice of Loving Presence. It can be said that when the mind is quiet, the heart will do the work. Research has confirmed that the most significant predictor for a successful therapeutic outcome is the quality of the therapist's relationship with the client. Ron recognized that the ideal state of mind for therapists - which can be cultivated with practice - was what he called "Loving Presence". Not only did Ron recognize the power of this state of mind for therapists (as well as for anyone in any kind of significant relationship), but he was able to brilliantly articulate a sequence of stages to cultivate this way of being. It was Ron's wish that the practice of Loving Presence be made available to as many people as possible. This is the immense contribution to the world that is the legacy of Ron Kurtz.

The photographs that launched Abbott's career: portraits of artists and writers in prewar Paris, from Jean Cocteau to James JoyceThis is one in a series of books to be published by Steidl that will explore Berenice Abbott's oeuvre. Abbott began her photographic career in Paris in 1925, taking portraits of some the most celebrated artists and writers of the day, including Marie Laurencin, Jean Cocteau, Peggy Guggenheim, Coco Chanel, Max Ernst, Andr Gide, Philippe Soupault and James Joyce. Within a year her work was exhibited and acclaimed. Paris Portraits 1925-1930 features the results of Abbott's earliest photographic project and illustrates the philosophy of all her subsequent work. For this landmark book, 115 portraits of 83 subjects have been scanned from the original glass negatives, which have been printed in full. Berenice Abbott was born in Springfield, Ohio, in 1898. She left Ohio State University early for New York's Greenwich Village in 1918, where she spent several years before studying in Europe. Abbott was first introduced to photography while studying sculpture in Paris; she became Man Ray's darkroom assistant and soon began her own studio, practicing primarily portrait photography. In 1929 she returned to New York, photographing its neighborhoods, buildings and residents. After a lung operation in the 1950s--, on doctor's orders to escape urban pollution, Abbott resettled in Maine, where she would remain until her death in 1991.
