Originally published in 1987, the purpose of this title was to
develop a conceptual framework for understanding individual humans
as complex, functional entities. It was felt that a sound
developmental theory of human personality and behaviour would help
synthesize existing scientific and clinical information into a
coherent representation of a person as a functional unit, guide
future research, and facilitate the work of the health and human
services professions. The volume is aimed at a
multidisciplinary-multiprofessional audience.
Originally published in 1987, the purpose of this companion volume
to Donald Ford's (1987) Humans as Self-Constructing Living Systems:
A Developmental Perspective on Personality and Behavior was to
illustrate the potential utility of the Living Systems Framework
(LSF) for stimulating new theoretical advances, for guiding
research on human behavior and development, and for facilitating
the work of the health and human service professions. Although not
exactly a "how to" manual, it does provide many concrete examples
of how and when the framework can be used to guide scholarly and
professional activities. It also provides a concise overview of the
framework itself that can help those who have read the theoretical
volume refresh their memory, and assist those who have not, in
understanding the basic concepts of the LSF and in deciding whether
and how the framework might be useful to them.

Alzheimer's disease groups across the country are trying to educate
professional caregivers, who tend to focus on deficits, to instead
accentuate the positive and focus on living a full life. This book
is at the cutting edge here. People need to hear this. The story of
Carol's courtship and marriage reminded me of my parent's story -
they were part of the Greatest Generation too. This book really
captures how life unfolded then.
