Description
Instructions:
Ancient histories have brought us foundational principles which are still active today in therapeutic consulting rooms, with or without critical attention to them, and with important consequences for how we care for others. For instance, whether the self is a think or a process, how the relation of matter and form, or physicality and spirit, shape how we understand body and mind, whether causation is inherent as a law of nature or imposed on it, the relation of inner experience and the objective world, and what is considered the good life. Pick one concept, whether Western, Eastern, Caribbean, African, Indigenous, and discuss how you see it “live” today.
Note: You are answering how you see one of the above cultures live today.
