- ‘Psychological commons’ refers to a psychological space where people can find support for enquiries into their particular experience of the human condition. It is a space informed but not dominated by the hundreds of thousands of articles, journals, books, tapes, cd's and DVDs about psychology, the hundreds of varieties of psycho-practice, plus survivor groups, user groups, help lines, self-help manuals, twelve step programs, Balint groups, infant massage, 5 rhythms dancing, agony aunts, radio chat programmes, meditation, co-counselling, re-evaluation counselling and so on.
- Love—I prefer the word unadorned by qualifications such as ‘non- possessive’ which is subsumed under the varieties of domination—love's antithesis. Alternatives such as agape have historical baggage through leaning towards adoration. See livingfromlove.org for more on this.
- Mêtis—a highly disciplined capacity for situational improvisation, such as flying a glider, piloting a ship or playing in a jazz group.
- Collaborative-cooperative research. This takes at least three forms which may be interleaved:
- 1st person enquiry: me and myself.
- 2nd person enquiry: you and I.
- 3rd person enquiry: us.
