Subject: Cycle of experience as basis for research

> Hi everyone,

> I agree with Peter that there is a problem with using the Cycle of

>
> It maintains the flaw in the PHG formulation that it is individualistic in

> complexity of personality theory. I worry about basing research on this
> version of the cycle without a more serious discussion of the theory, the
> definitions, comparison of the cycle with that of PHG, and without first
> some advancement in the theoretical explication of the Cycle.
