- Title
Integrating Wilber: A Therapist's Reflections on the Integral Theories of Ken Wilber.
- Authors
Bentheim, Steve
- Abstract
Ken Wilber has formulated an “Integral” vision that seeks to connect psychological stages of growth with spiritual states of awareness along a “spectrum” of human evolution. While vastly comprehensive and stimulating, I believe it beneficial to strengthen his conceptions in the areas of spirituality within human relationship. The following presents a “dialogue” between Ken Wilber and Virginia Satir, a pioneer of family therapy who invoked spirituality in her work with clients. Wilber seems skeptical of the experience of “We” as a harmonizing between self and other, and suggests the path of “surrender” as a way to extinguish the ego self. In contrast, Virginia Satir offers “congruence” to connect one's humanity with spirituality, along with the stepping-stones for healthy human relationships.
