Great questions, observation and sharing. For Anna and others who are
interested in non-quantitative research I recommend the book, The Universe in a
Single Atom: the convergence of science and spirituality written by the Dalai
Lama. He discusses several research methodologies and the convergence of
science, spirituality and humanity.
David's question about long turn implications is also very interesting. Has
any one done a study on long term followup of people with an interrupted reach
out movement or intense trauma?
As I read about the growing number of research projects I am struck with the
the fact that we should start collecting references of these research projects
in one place. I think ISCA (International Systemic Constellation Association)
has identified this as a project they are interested in.

Subject: [ConstellationTalk] Constellation Research thread
Dear All,thank you so very much for all these (and previous) precious
contributions. At last I have plucked up the courage to pitch in, and I am
prompted to do so by the research questions. I am just beginning a doctoral
research project into the issues related to a sense of belonging, so all
unfolding research arising from the systemic constellation work is important to
my inquiry at this stage.Like David I am wanting to take a broad view of the
systemic implications of both the issues and the use of an embodied
field-energy approach to healing - the system rather than the
individual.However my dilemma as the researcher is that I dont want to use
quantitative method for this inquiry, rather I wish to inquire (chiefly) in the
same mode as the work itself -by means of the body and the felt-sense of
belonging or not belonging. When ever we embark upon answering a question, or a
series of questions, the part that gets engaged is the mind - and therein lie
all the stories. The approach that I have chosen is broadly speaking
'holonomic' in the sense that Wilber and Koestler use the word 'holon' to mean
a part that is also a semi-autonomous whole within a greater Whole. I am so
grateful for the generous sharing on this forum, and I hope that I may also
have something to share as my research unfolds.Warmest regards,Anna Magee.
