The authors describe a view that our short-, medium-, and long-
term behavior, interactions, and relationships--whether planned or
spontaneous, purposeful or playful--can be understood in terms of
goal-directed systems. An understanding of action theory and
research methods used in applied settings is provided. It leads to
the conclusion that individual processes are joint processes and
the joint construction of lives should be monitored to understand
ongoing personal and social involvements.
The unique contribution of this book lies in its bringing
together and extending of basic features of the theory of
goal-directed action systems previously published in a range of
scattered research and conceptual articles in the literature.
Professionals including clinicians, counselors, social workers,
researchers, doctors, nurses, and physical or occupational
therapists will find in this book an accessible means to
understand, act on, research, and intervene in the behavioral
processes they encounter in everyday work.
