Finding Wholeness Through the Science of Connecting

Drawing on the authors decades of experience in social work, this book introduces readers to a systems approach to reconnecting in a complex, disconnected world applying the Dynamics of Life model. The systems sciences allow us to explore how we connect and disconnect, which can help us find ourselves again. Through his Dynamics of Life model, Victor MacGill presents this science in a simple, understandable way so that practitioners can build their skills and learn methods to apply with clients. The beginning of the book introduces theoretical concepts, such as complex adaptive systems, living systems and 4e cognition. The second part introduces tools for how to manage conflict and to reconnect and rebuild relationships with ourselves, individuals, family and community. The book is a manual for reconnecting ourselves to ourselves, others and the world to realise our greater potential. An essential resource in a disconnected and fragmented world, this book is for anyone in the helping professions, including counsellors, psychologists, social workers and coaches and so forth.
