Quotes About Self-as-context

Compassion and acceptance; stigma and defusion. As described thus far, acceptance and defusion seem, superficially, to be intrapsychic issues, but self-as-context expands their nature. Because perspective taking is social, it is not possible to take a loving, open, accepting, and active perspective on yourself without doing likewise for others.

A good way to assess for self-as-context is to examine the flexibility of perspective taking via the interview itself.
