Phases of Childhood: Growing in Body, Soul and Spirit

Editura: FLORIS

Anul aparitiei: 2005

-- How can education work in harmony with a child's developing relationship with the world around it?-- How can education take account of body, soul, and spirit?Bernard Lievegoed takes a child's full humanity -- body, soul and spirit -- as his starting point. From this, a philosophy and pedagogy emerge in which, he argues, children can become happy, wise and skilled adults only when education takes the development of these three aspects into account from the very beginning.Drawing on the educational ideas of Rudolf Steiner, and on a philosophical tradition going back to Goethe and Schiller, Lievegoed turns away from the materialist nineteenth-century notion of 'knowledge is power' which still pervades mainstream education today. He describes the three main stages of child development -- pre-school, schoolchild and teenager -- in a clear and concise way. Lievegoed shows that each stage of roughly seven years has its own character, and its own genetic and biographical potential.The author goes on to explore the practical application of these insights as an education method in harmony with the child's developing relationship with the world around them. ...

Phases

Editura: BROADMAN PR

Anul aparitiei: 2002

"The human biography is a symphony that each individual personally composes." -- Bernard LievegoedEach individual's path in life is a unique "work of art." Nevertheless, we each encounter certain universal milestones, from the period of adolescence to old age. Regardless of our backgrounds, we must all pass through critical outer and inner stages. A bestseller since it was first published, Phases describes the various periods of human life--adolescence, the twenties, the thirties, the forties, and on into old age--looking at the inner qualities and challenges that come with each stage. The author states that conventional physiological and psychological explanations of the human being are incomplete. Unless the inner self, or I-being, of each individual is recognized and acknowledged, the unique characteristics of one's unique life path and its challenges cannot have real meaning.Bernard Lievegoed--psychiatrist, educator, and anthroposophist--brought half a century of clinical practice, studious observation, and personal insight into the writing of this book. His overview of the course of human life and vocation, of male-female relationships, and of the sometimes-misleading picture ...

Beat, Rhythm and Melody: The Therapeutic Use of Musical Elements

Editura: AUTHORHOUSE

Anul aparitiei: 2014

This book, which was written by Bernard Lievegoed as a thesis for his medical doctorate at the University of Leiden in 1939 in the Netherlands, describes the basic elements of music and how they can be used therapeutically with children with learning disabilities and autistic spectrum disorder. The thesis is based on Schiller's 'Letters on the Aesthetic Education of Man' in which he described the three 'drives' or 'impulses'. The first part of the book may be of interest to any therapist or teacher working with children with or without learning disabilities. In the second part, two different groups of children are described in relation to their musical skills as well as to how they could be helped with the method Lievegoed had developed in his practice in a residential home for children with special needs in Holland. Although written 80 years ago, the ideas described by Lievegoed are still very valid today. It is hoped that this translation from the Dutch into English will make these ideas known to a new generation of therapeutic music practitioners, and that they will be used fruitfully.
