Description - A Spirit of Inquiry by Joseph D. Lichtenberg
Thoroughly grounded in contemporary development, this text explores the ecological niche of the infant-caregiver dyad and examines the evolutionary leap that permits communication to take place concurrently in nonverbal and verbal modes. Via the human capacity for speech, the authors hold, intercommunication deepens into a continuous process of listening to, sensing into and diciphering motivation-driven messages. The analytic exchange is unique owing to a broad communicative repertoire that encompasses all the permutations of day-to-day exchanges. It is the spirit of inquiry that endows such commmunicative moments with an overarching sense of purpose and thereby permits analysis to become an intimate relationship decisively unlike any other. In elucidating the special relationship, the authors refine their understanding of motivational systems theory by showing how exploration, previously conceptualized as a discrete motivational system, simultaneously infuses all the motivational systems with an integrative dynamic that tends to a cohensive sense of self.
