This book offers a new perspective on the working and potential
healing of relations between persons and between peoples, relevant
to our desperate times. Humans are born into relationships and
personal selves emerge through experiences of relationship, which
broaden and evolve through life. Inquiry into diversity and
'relations' within the self opens the way to other primary spheres:
interpersonal and family relations, community process as
relationship, the nature and far-reaching phenomena of loneliness
and alienation, and organizational and big-system relations.
One chapter maps the wide spectrum of inter-connected human systems, and another presents a view of helping theory and practice development extended through this spectrum. Over the whole range, the processes, healing and development of relationship are in central focus.
In a final review of the span of critical need and challenge, the book confronts alternatives and proposes steps toward recovery.
