  UTA - Department of Psychology
Riane Eisler, codirector of the Center for Partnership Studies in Pacific Grove, California, is known for her multidisciplinary work in evolutionary studies; human rights, and peace, feminist, and environmental issues.
Eisler also describes the increasingly strident resistance to change on the part of threatened dominator elites, but expresses a hope, based on the evolution of her own consciousness, that the partnership movements stand a fair chance of success.
Eisler leans toward the latter: she hints, without developing the point, that the ancient Kurgan invasions actually interrupted the further evolution of the partnership society and that it is our responsibility, with the help of modern technology, to resume this evolution.

 Conscious Choice: A New Kind of Self-Help
Eisler’s personal life crisis thus became a transforming moment for her, one in which she began to view personal issues within the larger scope of society and culture.
Eisler’s thesis is that the personal growth and transformation so many people seek in workshops, therapy, 12-step meetings, or myriad other ways, ultimately requires a more sweeping cultural transformation.
Eisler’s conceptual framework views human relations through the prism of two co-existing and conflicting models of human relations, the "dominator" model and the "partnership" model.

 Amazon.ca: The Chalice and the Blade: Our History, Our Future: Books: Riane Tennenhaus Eisler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Eisler suggests the Kurgans and their militaristic namesakes have controlled the area as well as the rest of the world ever since, although brief periods of gylanic (female, Humanistic) resurgance occurred in periods demarcated by Christian love (agape), Renaissance Humanism and the 20th Century "New Age" movement.
Eisler envisions a past where the chalice was worshipped, a golden age of peace that did not involve the subjugation of women in their "proper place" before everything went wrong in the Garden of Eden, but an age when men and women lived together in peace.
Eisler has not laid out a case for any of her claims and many of her ideas are contradicted by what is actually known of the times and areas she speaks of.

 The Chalice and the Blade : Our History, Our Future by Riane Eisler

 Book Review - The Power of Partnership by Riane Eisler
Riane Eisler calls her new book a self-help book, but points out that “the self cannot be helped in isolation.” Self-help improvement begins with presentation of a model for human behavior, recognition of a problem by scrutinizing one’s life according to the model, and then implementing practical solutions to solve the problem.
Eisler draws on a wealth of intellectual resources, from current scientific research about early childhood development, to the knowledge she acquired in researching and writing The Chalice and the Blade, a history of humanity covering 30,000 years.
Eisler argues that neither model is ever an absolute proposition, but that all relationships fall somewhere on the continuum of partnership at one extreme and domination at the other.
