Dear Dottie:
I have struggled with the same issue when trying to explain aspects of a
phenomenon. John Phillips was always very helpful and I really like Margaret
Newman's paper on parts published a few years ago. I think it is important for
us
all to grapple with the issue of parts. Its very difficult to discuss a
phenomenon-devise a theory -- study a process without looking at the aspects --
dimensions etc. I do like the term dimensions that you used. Phases is another
term
in a process -- sometimes I believe we have to fracture our view in order to
better understand the whole -- the unitary nature.
I hope there is a good dialogue about this on our list. This would also make
an interesting paper of several contributors?

I also tried to send an announcement about the Arts and Healing conference at
FAU this fall. They said I wasn't a member -- oh well try that again and I
hope this gets through as a result.

Best to you
