Jim,

I understand that some members of the more classical SI trends would
respond to these postings and emphasize that classical SI is not
lacking consideration of emotional issues. The precision that
classical SI, while acknowleging the need for a space to experience
psychological processes, charges and discharges, remains focussed on
the structure, was of course inevitable.

However, it seems to me that your original statements have genuine
merit:
> Hellerwork was created by Joseph Heller, ...,
> to be a form of structural integration where these
> so-called "emotional" issues would have a place and
> a structure for being openly recognized and allowed
> appropriately.

I do not feel that your statements are offending, but I can only
speak for myself. I did not feel that your remarks were meant to be
condescending; and I don't think they look condescending. I think
that they represent a fair view of the situation

It seems to me that Hellerwork SI has that much of a noticeable
difference from classical SI: a more overt pro-active attitude with
emotional/psychological processes, backed up with an academic
emphasis in preparing students.

It seems to me that your statements were fair.

Sincerely,
