The article looks at ten innovative therapists who “. . . bring serious therapeutic technique and therapeutic wisdom out of the consulting room and into the world. Some of them go beyond the symptom/treatment paradigm to help their clients connect with forces of spirit, body and creativity; others find a way to touch and change all too familiar social dilemmas, one psyche at a time. All are operating on the exciting, shifting boundaries between the self and the world, the soul and the society.” One helps his clients take responsibility for their communities. Rather than viewing these obligations as a drag on individual growth, clients are helped to see the importance of being interconnected. Systems approaches are blooming. Getting more than a client involved is the new way in therapy just as getting more than the family and agency involved is the new way in social work. This is good. (One of the best therapy books is Feeling Good.)

In MCs, having seen how desperate the need for excellent childcare is, and how few children are getting such a thing, regardless of whether the mother works or not, the members are doing the systems approaches in therapy and social work one better, and eliminating the need for outside help with child-raising in the process. A microcommunity with great childcare, friendships, nurturing, and autonomy support nurtures kids, elders, and all members concomitantly. See Why Register for an MC?.
