Continuity and the Coherent Self

The preceding chapters have examined crisis, responsibility, commitment, and suffering as distinct psychological experiences. Yet lived experience does not present them in isolation.

Integration refers to this convergence, the process by which disparate experiences are gathered into a coherent whole capable of enduring change without fragmentation.
