Читать книгу Enneagram For Dummies - Jeanette van Stijn - Страница 12

The Enneagram is distinguished by different movements. The existing books were usually written from the perspective of one or another of these orientations. In this book, I identify each of the major movements and give proponents and course participants from various schools of thought a chance to speak. This should give you an impression of the world of the Enneagram. As a trainer, I am often asked in what way the various movements differ. I always start by saying that I, of course, come to the Enneagram from a certain perspective: I first encountered the Enneagram via Helen Palmer and David Daniels, who introduced me to the principles of the Enneagram many years ago in San Francisco. As I've already mentioned, I got a lot out of this meeting. It had a profound effect on how I see things, and as such, I regard that educational experience as a great success. It formed the foundation of the approach to the Enneagram and the development method described in this book. However, I still think it’s important to mention the other movements. (Many roads lead to Rome, you know.) I hope this book will help people who have recently started being guided by the Enneagram to find suitable seminars and lecturers.
