The Experiences of long-term practitioners of bohm's dialogue

Abstract

This chapter introduces Bohm's dialogue through data gathered from a research study conducted on the experience of long-term practitioners of Bohm's dialogue. The research was not intended to develop a theory or model, may it be explanatory, predictive or prescriptive. The purpose was rather a qualitative description of a diversity of experiences, understandings, and meanings of Bohm's dialogue. In other words, to provide access to different realities about Bohm's dialogue through individuals who are among those with the most experience in this practice. © 2008 Springer-Verlag US.
