Opis

Decentering Relational Theory: A Comparative Critique invites relational theorists to contemplate the influence, overlaps, and relationship between relational theory and other perspectives. The companion to this book, De-Idealizing Relational Theory: A Critique from Within, considers the strengths and limitations of relational thinking from the inside out. Decentering Relational Theory pushes that critique in the opposite direction by contemplating and elaborating on how relational theory overlaps with—and differs from—other perspectives.
