The Maltz Foundation is responsible for overseeing the legacy of Dr. Max- well Mallz, and we are confident that this book will contribute to that legacy. Although Dr. Maltz was nota psychologist or psycho- therapist by training, he cared deeply about his patients’ recovery in his practice as a plastic surgeon. Ata time when mental-health professionals were wed lo the Freudian model which down- graded people's control over their lives, Dr. Maltz put together somne of the best formulations ever on how people can improve themselves. Today professionals have moved in the direction Dr Maltz advocated: self-image, self-realization, biofeedback, posi- tive self-talk, and imaginative exercises are central to how we think about psychological improvement, whether self- or thera- pist-directed. As a professional research psychologist, Ican assure you that the ideas and techniques you will be reading about are consistent with current professional theory and practice. Updating Dr. Maliz’s message is Dr. Bobbe Sommer. She has dealt with issties of self-improvement in depth with her psycho- therapy clients and more generically with her thousands of work- shop participants. She knows what people's concems ate, and Qike Dr. Maltz) she’s a great communicator. The cases she offers ix FOREWORD from her psychotherapy practice should speak cogently toa wide range of readers’ concerns. The exercises she provides should be as effective for her readers as they have been with her clients and audiences This project has other essential participants. Mark Falstein is a gifted writer, and his efforts to make this book as readable as it is can be found on every page. We had to pull him away from working on his novel, but our gain should result in only a tempo- rary delay to literature. It was our good fortune to work under the editorial direction of Ellen Schneid Coleman, Senior Editor at Simon é& Schuster, Thanks to her guidance, this project was launched and has stayed on target with clear language and a presentation to sustain readers’ interest. Finally, I would like to pay tribute to Anna Harabin Maltz, who made it all possible by donating the rights to her late husband's works to start the Malt. Foundation. She read the manuscript of Psycho-Cybernetics 2000 with great joy, enthusiast cally contributing a Foreword, which follows. Sadly, Mrs. Maltz, died on March 16, 1993. Her long and full life ended secure in the knowiedge that she had successfully passed the torch from Dr. Maltz.to the Foundation and that the Psycho-Cybemetics message would live on. ‘he final part of the project rests with you, the reader. As you read this book, if you are connecting with us and Dr. Maitz and the shared human project of self-realization, and if you put its exercises and lessons into practice in your life, then our message will be accomplished. May you be one of millions of a new generation entering a new century with Psycho-Cybernetics asan nspiration and guide, Happy reading, conscientious exercising, and more successful living!
