The Use of Temperaments in the Healing Process

Being a systemic psychotherapist trained in anthropology as well as classical homeopathy is obviously a natural context for me to work from — SUMMARY Certain cases, if not all, necessitate a stereoscopic perspective. This perspective requires seeing simultaneous part- to — whole connections and variations to determine the desired results, all of which are geared to optimize the immune system. This article describes a systemic approach to homeopathic case taking, applicable to psychotherapy…

The Benefits of Ecological Thinking

I recently was going over my notes on ecological and systems thinking for an upcoming workshop, and came across this short essay that was motivated from my attending a talk by Nora Bateson, March 29, 2017, at the Players Club in New York City on “Systems, Contexts, Frames and Patterns”…

The Historical Evolution and Use of the Double Bind Theory

“…the multiple insults, the double binds and invasions that we all experience in life, the impact (to use an inappropriate physical work) whereby experience corrupts our epistemology, challenging the core of our existence, and thereby seducing us into a false cult of the ego — what I am suggesting is…

A Post-Pandemic Perspective Using “Warm Data”

Key points Our world is an ecological process that is more than the sum of its parts. It may not make sense to go back to business as usual given lessons learned from the recent pandemic. “Warm Data” is a relational process that encourages us to recognize our interdependency.

Be A Participant-Observer: A Personal View

“Healing is not a science but the intuitive art of wooing nature” — W.H. Auden Anthropologists describe human interactions from what is called the “Participant Observer” mode. The late anthropologist, Gregory Bateson, who I studied with and admired, would have himself filmed as he filmed his field work. This would provide a context for anyone viewing his work. It included the observer and…

The Tidal Pendulum

Nature’s sense making — The inconsistency yet predictable bay shoreline on the outer cape was always an induction for me of an unfolding collage of memories and mixed thoughts of simultaneously vivid vignettes, a kind of holographic roulette wheel, in synchrony with the moon’s on time tidal onsets that when it gracefully withdraws it…
