Mustakova-Possardt and Basseches point out that a dialectical framework is needed which can bridge together the learning of social science with the learning from the praxis of communities of spiritual and social justice.The authors call on the field to recreate itself in such a way that it can embrace this diversity and complexity, and cultivate effective integrative processes to reach collective solutions.

In this volume, the editors explore the central and defining features of socially-responsible psychology, challenges that this work would face, and the mechanisms and processes by which psychological work could be synergistically integrated with the work of other disciplines. For this purpose, the volume also examines a variety of factors currently that limit psychology in carrying out this goal.

Dialectical thinking recognizes the importance of contradiction, change, and synthesis; it also includes recognition of the value as well as limits of modern epistemological approaches. The article describes foundations for both ongoing efforts to understand and research the ontogeny of dialectical thinking and for appreciating the scope of dialectical thinking and its relevance for establishing a bridge from modern to post-modern psychology.

A team of 3 raters integrated the sequential phases of the Paradigmatic Complementarity Metamodel with a moment-by-moment tracking method-the Developmental Analysis of Psychotherapy Process method-to analyse this therapeutic process and clarify what happened throughout that may explain phase gains and how the therapist facilitated them. The results suggest that Susan evolved in accordance with the sequence of phases proposed by the Paradigmatic Complementarity Metamodel. We illustrate and explain this with therapeutic interactions representative of Susan's development within the evolving therapeutic process. This case study is the third of a series intended to contribute towards the optimization of clinical decisions in therapeutic processes by identifying markers of phase progression and assessing the value of the therapeutic ...

The study transformed a previous DAPP coding method (referred to here as DAPP-II) into a more accessible coding manual, (hereafter referred to as DAPP-III). DAPP-III was designed to be disseminated through open-access web-based DAPP training modules. Based in the heuristic research tradition, the research was rooted in the first author’s own experience as a clinical psychology student in a Boulder model Ph.D. program. This paper will introduce some of the key DAPP concepts for clinicians’ usage and will describe the process of conducting a DAPP-III analysis. Finally, it will present the continuing efforts to make the DAPP framework more useful for clinicians, clinical training, reflection on psychotherapy, and consultation.
