Autor Ph. D. Michael D. Lukens
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 sep 2020
In the Physics of Emotioning, Michael D. Lukens, Ph.D. lays the groundwork and develops the concept of 'Emotioning', the force that acts upon every human mind to make us do what we do. This theory opens us to knowledge that will shift our paradigms, changing the way we view, study, and experience consciousness. Before the discovery of gravity, ancient civilizations and Greek philosophers filled in the blanks with 'godly' explanations for the existence, positioning, and movement of the planets and stars. Later, astronomers like Galileo and Brahe shed proverbial light on these subjects when they theorized that the planets revolved around the sun, further supported by Kepler's work that demonstrated that the planets moved in an elliptical orbit. The question that remained to be answered was . . . why? Whether under the influence of an apple-flavored concussion or not, Newton began formulating the answer to that fateful why question which would be the launching pad for a new era of science on earth and in space alike. Though gravity existed prior to the theory being developed, it's development ushered in the paradigm shift that allowed us to harness it and travel into outer space. The kickstart to the development of the Physics of Emotioning, wasn't a falling apple, it was Dr. Lukens's healthy heart, his love for people, and a genuine interest in guiding others to answer their own "Why" questions. Carrying the torch for B.F. Skinner, Lukens details the processes of human 'minding' from the standpoint of radical constructivism and structure determinism. His theory has practical ways to systematically deal with the 'Black Box' that is the mind, and he lays out the many inspiring potential implications this theory catalyses. By building a constructivist scaffolding, Dr. Lukens outlines how the Black Box is not as impenetrably opaque as behaviorists might believe, and maps out how we can approach an explanation of it in an empirically and scientifically sound manner. Ultimately and most importantly, the studying and harnessing of this force of Emotioning will allow all of us to let go of our limiting beliefs. It sets a new, quality precedent for self-observation and internal inquiry. This book, when put into practice by practitioners, scholars, healers, and lay-people alike, will open us up to knowledge that will shift our scientific and personal paradigms, change how we view the world, and help us better understand what it means to be "human".

Notă biografică

I received my BA in Psychology from Temple U 1980, my MA in Clinical Psychology from UConn in 1984 and my PhD in Clinical Psychology from UConn in 1987. I had a very Fortunate training experience as an undergraduate as I got to work closely with Jay Efran, who at the time was director of Temple's doctoral program in Clinical Psychology. We grew to become colleagues and friends, and I co-authored the book "Language, Structure and Change: Frameworks of Meaning in Psychotherapy" (1990). I learned far more than I believe I ever would have without his uniquely valuable tutelage. I have been working on a theory of motivation for 30 years, titled the Physics of Emotioning: A Constructivist's Understanding of the Motivational Forces Governing Volitional Behavior, wìth publication pending. The theory puts our emotional response system in the role of controlling what our Will happens to be made of at any given point in time. All of our willful actions are determined by the structure of our ambivalence -- our mixed goals and our mixed feelings -- at each and every moment of our lives. I've worked in the eating disorders and addiction fields for much of my career, but I've always also been a generalist, focusing on the broad idea of our shared struggle with pain and defenses against pain that backfire and do more harm than good, helping people with all sorts of problems and struggles. I've served as both the clinical director of some prominent programs in the state of Florida, as a consultant to fortune 500 companies, and professional athletes. In 2019 I finished volume 1 of "Addiction and Emotion" the first half of a two volume set that applies the PoE theory to addiction. Morale, morality, Trance, and Escapism are all important 'human mind factors' that account for the 'fact pattern' of addiction better than other conceptual frameworks such as CBT or 12 steps. I recently retired to focus on building my company, TruthMap. I currently live in South Florida, married to Regina for almost 30 years, and we have two sons.
