“…Judging the latest version of behaviorism in this way focuses attention on who wins and who loses in any particular application of behaviorism’s continued emphasis on the environment, reductionism, and prediction and control. Alternatively, Lemberger and Lemberger‐Truelove (2016) and others (e.g., Vereen et al, 2014) draw on a “metamodern” (Gardner, 2016, p. 86) stance to help counselors find ways to exist simultaneously within multiple, at times conflicting, worlds and contexts (i.e., humanism and behaviorism) by moving first to and then fro. Within the confines of this review, these paths may help practitioners find ways to persevere within the multiple and at times conflicting worlds of humanism and behaviorism.…”

“…The facilitator of change becomes a "social immunologist" who fulfills the metamodern design of a therapeutic modality (Gardner, 2016;Lushyn, 2017) which could be described as so: there is no former stabilityconstant change is a new normality; every element of a social ecosystem could be a resource and an agent of self-organization of the systemic change; universal regularities and rules are local and restricted by a certain context; development of the ecosystem unfolds as a communication with a confronting or antithetic surroundings; problem is a new possibility; no zeroing or underestimation of the past, its value is priceless.…”

This article provides the conceptualization of the post-traumatic development (PTD) in terms of a dialectical unity of the processes of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and post-traumatic growth (PTG); practical implications for eco-centered facilitation of post-traumatic growth and development. The results of the research indicate that the process of personality development is paradoxical, irreversible and scarcely predictable. In dialectical perspective the attractor of change is not about the content of transient forms (such as trauma, success, flow) but the stabilization of their change: thesis – antithesis – synthesis. As compared to PTG, PTD’s outcome is the systemic transition to the novel (not better or positive) identity. PTSD as well as PTG constitute minor cycles within the major cycle of PTD. The core metaphor of change as personality development is the work of the immunity system (SPI) which has an ambivalent nature: on the one hand, it defends the personality from the influence of adversarial agents and on the other – proactively guards it from stagnation and lack of confrontation and discontinuity. Principals of PTD facilitation: (a) the situation of psychological help (PH) is a case of a transition to a social level of personality self-regulation; (b) an inquiry for PH contains a narrative with necessary and sufficient elements for post-traumatic growth and development; (c) these elements are objectified in paradoxes, contradictions, incongruences as the source of personality development; (d) the task of PTD facilitator is to support the explication of internal change programs by maintaining the position of ambiguity tolerance and sensitivity to accidental flow of events.

“…A historical, pragmatic, and interdisciplinary approach is called for—one that acknowledges the rich tradition of humanism while embracing current thinking. Philosophical and theoretical constructs such as chaos theory and metamodernity account for the inherent complexity and uncertainty of the human experience and provide workable constructs for growth and development (Bussolari & Goodell, ; Gardner, ; Lemberger & Lemberger‐Truelove, ). Perspectives such as Gergen's () relational humanism point to the wisdom of placing the process of interdependent relationships at the center of the work of counseling rather than an individualized focus.…”
