Books by Clifford Mayes

This book proposes a new way of categorizing curricula in the holistic educational traditional.

This book examines six psychological and spiritual giants that will help inspire teacher renewal.

In Understanding the Whole Student the authors contend that good education is, and must be, multicultural in order to gain a deeper perspective on issues under analysis in the classroom through the sharing and negotiating of many different cultural perspectives.

Despite the growing interest in Jungian approaches to curriculum and instruction, there has yet to be an English text dealing with this subject until now. Here, author Clifford Mayes offers his unique perspective on how Jungian ideas and techniques for psycho-spiritual discovery and growth play out concretely in a wide variety of educational contexts. In this book, he draws together over seven years of research to extensively and systematically outline the educational consequences of Jungian psychology. Jung and Education: ┬╖Details the psychology of C.G. Jung ┬╖Provides abundant examples and quotes from Jung himself ┬╖Explains the central concepts in Jungian psychology ┬╖Examines the archetypal nature of the student-teacher relationship ┬╖Exams the "eight pillars" of a Jungian theory of education ┬╖Provides examples of "archetypal reflectivity" in action in which the teacher reflects upon his/her sense of calling and classroom practices in archetypal terms Teachers and teacher educators at the undergraduate and graduate levels in courses in methodology, social history of education, and educational psychology should use this book.

By carefully examining a handful of great exemplars of teaching from various spiritual traditions and cultural contexts, this book breaks new ground in helping both prospective and practicing teachers discover and deepen their sense of spiritual calling.

Nurturing the Whole Student: Five Dimensions of Teaching and Learning begins with the assumption that education is at its best-healthiest, most engaging, and most effective-when it is holistic.

Seven Curricular Landscapes offers a holistic presentation and critique of what the author considers to be the seven major types of curricula. This book, which is suitable for both upper-division and graduate education courses, differs from previous holistic approaches in that it closely considers the holistic implications of postmodernism, adds new categories and terms to the holistic repertoire, includes the latest developments in transpersonal theory, examines the Existentialist curriculum as a spiritual phenomenon, and discusses the curricular implications of both Eastern and Western spirituality.
