Description
Summary:The author responds to Vitz's (1992a, 1992b) two preceding articles. He asserts that Vitz has made a paradigm shift from a psychological to a social concept of the self, without making it clear that he has done so. Anderson believes that this unrecognized shift has led to some ambivalence in Vitz about the use of his narrative approach in integrative psychotherapy. The author attempts to resolve this ambivalence through conclusions derived from a biblical anthropology–-a view of the self as a unity with social, spiritual, and historical dimensions.
