Abstract
This book has been concerned with interdisciplinary applications of the Person-Centered Approach (PCA) to substantiate its theories. The concluding chapter provides a meta-view aiming to capture meta-theoretical statements and to integrate and expand between disciplines to offer further generation of ideas, research, and applications. Central elements include an experiential, whole-person approach to integration and enhancement, the systemic nature of the PCA, the recognition of the PCA as a way of being that acknowledges life as a directional, changing, social process, and the quality of interpersonal relationships as decisive factors for the actualization of persons and the constructive forming of their social systems.
