You are right. Italian sociologist Alberony studied "metanoia" in hi book "Innamoramento i Amore". I will come back to his ideas in the future.gsu
not agreed! (at least to some aspects :-) I think it can be dangerous to think that way. Because no human beeing is able to "always behave ethically". Therefore, anyone who tries to do so will run aground. Therefore it is absolutely necessary to behave incongruently for parents! Because thus they teach their children: It is ok not to be perfect. (But, of course, their goal should be to minimize their own ambiguity. So I would say, double binds should be avoided - but one should'n t take this for absolute.)
You are right; my way: when there is incongruences, acknowledge and disccuss them. Never cover them.

Yes, I think it is really difficult. I have exoeriences were it was difficult and time consuming to changr some of my own MM (that education had interiorized in me) and would not allow me to do things I wanted, or the contrary. And the some to help students bypasse old MM. To chnage that implies persistance and a lot of tries... I was thinking more of this cases then of the ones you presented.
In other words how can we facilitate personal, > >organisational or social "metanoias"? By lowering the huge impact and the immens individual risk which is associated by change. By giving people the possibility "to play with" their future. To re-allow them to apply fantasy to their own careers/ outcome.
