Series Overview: Confluent education is the term for the integration of the cognitive, affective, and behavioral domains in education. Confluent educators have a rich 25-year tradition of developing theory and practice which recognize the centrality of the learner to the educational process. In a confluent model, deep learning is achieved by facilitating self-awareness and personal responsibility, and by understanding the dynamics of planned change. Although many have discussed these ideas, few have developed them into a comprehensive and effective educational model. Around the world principles of confluent education have proven relevant in a variety of social contexts such as education, health services, law, industry, social services, the military, multicultural concerns, labor relations, and religion.

This volume draws from the first generation of Confluent Educators (George Brown, Laurence lannaccone, and Stewart Shapiro) as well as second generation of researchers and practitioners. Integrating Consciousness for Human Change is a research-based and process-oriented volume that explores the philosophical, psychological, and organizational / political aspects of awareness, responsibility, and change. It solidifies and deepens our understanding of an effective educational process at the individual and group levels within various social contexts.
