I then argue that the models of knowledge and knowing embodied in field theory form part of the emerging epistemology that characterises many new areas of inquiry , holistic medicine and ecology. In the second half of the lecture I apply field theory thinking to a discussion of the Self in Gestalt therapy and to the mutual effects on one another of two (or more). persons relating together.
