Abstract

The second point of access to our vast nonconscious network is that of knowing, specifically inner knowing as it relates to supporting our clients in making substantial change. This chapter is framed from the perspective of seeing human development as adaptation, change, learning and growth and explores how knowledge and ways of knowing can support and/or impede this active process.
