The joy of community an interview with M. Scott Peck, by Alan Atkisson |
| In
modern times, the idea of "community" has increasingly been expanded to
include not just the place where one lives, but the web of
relationships
into which one is embedded. Work, school, voluntary associations,
computer networks - all are communities, even though the members live
quite far apart.
But according to psychiatrist and author M. Scott Peck, for any group to achieve community in the truest sense, it must undertake a journey that involves four stages: "pseudo-community," where niceness reigns; "chaos," when the emotional skeletons crawl out of the closet; "emptiness," a time of quiet and transition; and finally, true community, marked both by deep honesty and deep caring.
