Descriptive Psychology and the Person Concept maps the common
ground of behavioral science. The absence of a shared foundation
has given us fragmentation, a siloed state of psychological theory
and practice. And the science? The integrity of choice,
accountability, reason, and intention are necessary commitments at
the cornerstone of civilization and any person-centered
psychotherapy, but when taught along with a "scientific"
requirement for reductionism and determinism, reside in
contradictory intellectual universes. Peter Ossorio developed the
Person Concept to remedy these problems. This book is an
introduction to his work and the community of scientists, scholars,
and practitioners of Descriptive Psychology. Ossorio offered these
maxims that capture the discipline's spirit: 1. The world makes
sense, and so do people. They make sense to begin with. 2. It's one
world. Everything fits together. Everything is related to
everything else. 3. Things are what they are and not something else
instead. 4. Don't count on the world being simpler than it has to
be. The Person Concept is a single, coherent concept of
interdependent component concepts: Individual Persons; Behavior as
Intentional Action; Language and Verbal Behavior; Community and
Culture; and World and Reality. Descriptive Psychology uses
preempirical, theory-neutral formulations and methods, to make
explicit the implicit structure of the behavioral sciences. The
goal is a framework with a place for what is already known with
room for what is yet to be found.
