Unitary Pattern-Based Praxis: A Nexus Of Rogerian Cosmology, Philosophy, And Science [Corrected] [Published Erratum Appears In Visions 2008;15(1):28], Howard Butcher
Howard K. Butcher
Unitary pattern-based praxis is a nexus of Rogerian cosmology, philosophy, and science designed to inform practice/research using the praxis processes of pattern manifestation knowing-appreciation and voluntary mutual patterning.
