I. Gurdjieff），他認為，正是人格裡的缺陷為我們帶來了不必要的痛苦。每種人格都有一個「主要特質」，我們性格中虛妄不實的面向便是圍繞著它發展而來。這些人格特質大多是小時候被強加在我們身上的，而不是出於自由意志的選擇。 一九七〇年代，九型人格理論在美國被心理學家發揚光大。之後，迅速被應用於商務及自我成長領域。九型人格理論內含的認知及情緒架構，能夠幫助我們了解自己的人格缺陷，並進而將其轉化，這個系統清楚地指出了人類可能的靈魂進化之路。 九型人格理論是非常實用的個人成長工具。本書匯集了數百名個案的口述分享，鉅細靡遺地呈現這九種類型的心路歷程，你可以用它達成個人的覺醒，讓它喚醒內在深處的美好品質。 各界讚譽 「海倫．帕瑪寫的這本書是一份天大的禮物，她分享了她對於九型人格的瞭解……她認為九型人格的每一種類型都是建立在某種感知／錯誤感知上，這一點對我們尤其有幫助。」 ——查爾斯．塔特（Charles T. Tart），加州大學戴維斯分校心理學教授 「海倫．帕瑪這本優雅的著作是無價之寶……它是一本實用的指導手冊，能夠幫助我們瞭解自己，同時也對各種人格類型進行了精細的分析。」 ——詹姆士．唐納修（James A. Donahue） 「這本書讓我們瞭解，一個更加進化的生命會具備哪些美好的品質。」 ——《舊金山紀事報》（San Francisco Chronicle） 「帕瑪的歷史和臨床論述相當有力，論證本身也非常具有洞見。九型人格系統可以幫助我們瞭解人們對於自己的看法。」 ——《訓練與發展期刊》（Training and Development Journal） 「這本書探索人格的奧秘，並且提出培養卓越能力的方法。」 ——《瑜珈》雜誌（Yoga Journal） 「這本書不只為了心理專業人士而作，對於一般人同樣有幫助。」 ——《新實相》雜誌（New Realities Magazine） 「對於這個獨特的人格類型系統，帕瑪把焦點放在它的實用性，這為她的書帶來了特別的力量──轉化的力量。」 ——《美國人本心理學評論》（American Humanistic Psychology Review） （原書名：《海倫帕瑪・九型人格聖經：認識自己，理解他人，找到轉化的力量》）

Un des classiques de l’Ennéagramme écrit par Helen Palmer et préfacé par David Daniels qui se concentre sur l’épanouissement de la vie affective et professionnelle.

Helen Palmer examines the Russian formalist concept of defamiliarisation from a contemporary critical perspective, bringing together new materialist feminisms, experimental linguistic formalism and queer theory.She explores how we might radically restructure this gesture of 'making-strange' to create a dialogue with the affirmations of 'deviant', 'errant', 'alternative' and 'multiple' modes of being which have become synonymous with queer theory. Queer theory harnesses the creative potential of indeterminacy in order to celebrate and affirm infinite dimensions of sexuality and gender, creating space for all human beings to express themselves without the classification or judgement of prescriptive terminologies. Linguistic at its source, but going beyond this limit just like defamiliarisation, the liberating force of queer theory is derived from the removal of terminological boundaries. Palmer asks what a 21st-century queer defamiliarisation might look like and examines the extent to which these affirmative or emancipatory discourses escape the paradoxes of normativity or historicisation.

This book is an original exploration of Deleuze's dynamic philosophies of space, time and language, bringing Deleuze and futurism together for the first time. Helen Palmer investigates both the potential for creative novelty and the pitfalls of formalism within both futurist and Deleuzian linguistic practices. Through creative and rigorous analyses of Russian and Italian futurist manifestos, the 'futurist' aspects of Deleuze's language and thought are drawn out. The genre of the futurist manifesto is a literary and linguistic model which can be applied to Deleuze's work, not only at times when he writes explicitly in the style of a manifesto but also in his earlier writings such as Difference and Repetition (1968) and The Logic of Sense (1969). The way in which avant-garde manifestos often attempt to perform and demand their aims simultaneously, and the problems which arise due to this, is an operation which can be perceived in Deleuze's writing. With a particular focus on Russian zaum, the book negotiates the philosophy behind futurist 'nonsense' language and how Deleuze propounds analogous goals in The Logic of Sense. This book critically engages with Deleuze's poetics, ultimately suggesting that multiple linguistic models operate synecdochically within his philosophy.
