| | Gordon Wheeler / Beyond Individualism - Toward a New Understanding of Self, Relationship, and Experience> (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) |
 | | Characteristics of this self-model, which we inherit from as far back as the ancient Greeks,, are our embedded yet pervasive ideas that the individual self precedes and transcends relationship and social field conditions and that interpersonal experience is somehow secondary and even opposed to the needs of the "inner self. |
 | | Each of these six chapters is based on an exercise that the reader is invited to participate in, and each leads us to a wholly new way of experiencing and thinking about its subject and about ourselves. |
 | | The result is a picture and an experience of self that is grounded in the active dynamics of attention, problem solving, imagination, interpretation, evaluation, emotion, meaning-making, narration, and, above all, relationship. |
