2 CEUs Carlos A. Jones, Ph.D., has worked as an educator, counselor and psychologist in a variety of settings for the past 14 years. Working in traditional and continuation high schools, a children's shelter school, juvenile court schools, a community college, a graduate school of psychology, a psychiatric forensic facility and a federal prison have given him a unique perspective on human behavior and development, particularly that of boys and men. While working at the Federal Correctional Institution in Phoenix, Dr. Jones began intensive work with incarcerated men around issues of male development, identity as men and concepts of masculinity and violence. Now in private practice in Phoenix and Scottsdale, Arizona, Dr. Jones continues to work in male development and identity with individuals and groups. Her new book, Goddesses in Older Women , creates a set of positive archetypes for women in the third phase of their lives.
Women turn fifty and cross into uncharted territory.
Dr. Bolen's Goddesses in Older Women names the new energies and potentials that come into the psyche at this momentous time, marked physiologically by menopause. Forty-five million American women will be on the far side of fifty and still active at the beginning of the 21st century. As she did in Goddesses in Everywoman , Dr. Bolen introduces a set of goddess archetypes as inner sources of wisdom, humor, outrage, decisive action, and compassion. Goddesses in Older Women is a handbook on how to be an active , vibrant, wise crone who creates reasons to celebrate turning fifty. Dr. Bolen is a storyteller and inspiring speaker whose words will activate images in us through the telling of myths and a guided meditation that will give more meaning to these images.
