A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

This book introduces a new, collaborative action methodology-called synergic inquiry (S.I.)-for both investigating and effecting transformative change among our individual and collective lives. It is inspired to work within the four levels of our lives-the mental, the social, the political, and the spiritual. In this text, editors Yongming Tang and Charles Joiner stress a strong theory/practice mix.
