David Deida

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Deida (born David Greenberg) is an American author. Deida focuses on his theories about the different ways that men and women grow emotionally and sexually.

Deida has designed and developed a program of practices that addresses his concepts. He is a founding associate of the Integral Institute and has taught and conducted research at the University of California Medical School in San Diego, University of California, Santa Cruz, San Jose State University, the Lexington Institute in Boston and the École Polytechnique in Paris.

Deida's early development is covered in his highly autobiographical book "Wild Nights," which recounts of his meeting in the 1990's with William Tsiknas, a long time student of Adi Da, and the previous resident caretaker of Adi Da's temple on Kauai. Today Deida openly acknowledges William's influence, and in the past has invited him to speak at Deida's events.

[edit] Criticism

Deida's work is offensive to some, and not meant for all. Deida has increasingly become more adamant about making clear that his work is not therapy, but is meant for individuals who have mostly healed their childhood wounds and so are functionally healthy, and ready to attempt a depth of experience that may feel dangerous to those who are not emotionally healthy.
