One of the most powerful techniques for healing, change and growth is the use of ceremonies. In this book author Henry Close examines the use of ceremonies in a liturgical setting. For several different situations he includes a description of the specific facts and circumstances and then provides the ceremony that he created to address those circumstances. The ceremonies show a deep understanding of the situation, sound psychotherapeutic techniques, and how it helps the individual, couple or family involved to heal their emotional wounds or grow as a person. Ceremonies for Spiritual Healing and Growth is highly recommended and easily one of the most powerful books on healing and growth that I have read in a very long time.ISBN-13:978-0789029058
