Welcome to the evolving web site of Psychosynthesis Press, publishers of books that further the full flowering of the human potential in harmony with the interdependent web of life.
Psychosynthesis is a transpersonal psychology based on the work of Roberto Assagioli, M.D. (1888-1974) that seeks to integrate all the dimensions of life: physical, emotional, mental, interpersonal, social, ecological, and spiritual. Our books arise from this inclusive, holistic perspective.

Language Be My Bronco
A Life in Poems
by Jim Brown
Language Be My Bronco offers 75 poems in honor of Jim’s 75 years in this incarnation, reveling in eloquent and precise language that illuminates moments, people, places, ideas, insights, and wonder.
“Jim Brown writes with elegance, sharing his love and shamanic knowing of the spirits of lake, mesa, mountain, sky and evergreen. He shares his poet’s vision of mystical dream states, inviting us to discover what our own spirit world might be.” Beth Beurkens, Shamanic Practitioner and poet, author of Shaman’s Eye.
“This collection of poems from Jim Brown’s life-long engagement with language is full of surprises and vivid moments. Some of the poems move downward and inward along faint trails–seen or imagined–toward “moon-abetted mystery”. Some are tough-minded reality checks. Others are romps amid playful language. Throughout, he reminds us that keen attention and exact language are the best snares humans have for inspiration and insight. – Charles Goodrich, author of Insects of South Corvallis, The Practice of Home, and Going to Seed: Dispatches from the Garden.
“Jim’s poetry evokes the rich distillation of his life thus far: quirky musings, explorations into being a true man, wisdom. Thanks for loosening your casing, Jim, and considering “the possibility of having a blast.” I loved being along for the ride. — Ana Holub, poet and author of The Edges Are Friendly

CONSENSUS IN THE CLASSROOM
Fostering a Lively Learning Community
by Linda Sartor and Molly Young Brown
Because of her passionate interest in environmental education, Linda Sartor began experimenting with consensus decision-making in her public school classrooms. She found that consensus in the classroom works as both an instructional strategy and a classroom management approach, and fosters a lively learning community. It requires a paradigm shift in a teacher’s relationship with students and students’ relationships with each other. This book will inspire and assist educators to use the consensus process in and out of the classroom.
