Course description

Perspective taking is critical to the development of a sense of self. Once we learn to relationally frame, we can compare and contrast our behavior to that of others (i.e., interpersonally) as well as comparing and contrasting our own activities at different points in space and time (i.e., intra-personally). These are both essential aspects of the development of a fully verbal sense of self including perhaps most importantly the concept that there is a continuous ‘I’ that perseveres across one’s lifetime. In this workshop we will explore the development of perspective taking from its roots in nonverbal activities which we share to some extent with other species, through to its fully verbal manifestation in perspective relational framing, which plays a critical role in the development of the most complex forms of self awareness.
