Alternative to the conventional bio-medical and the bio-psycho- social-spiritual approaches
“Man-living-health” theory
Changed to “the humanbecoming theory” in 1992
Human science theoretical perspective
Evolved into a school of thought
Structured around three themes: meaning, rhythmicity, and transcendence3

8. Cotranscending with possibles is the powering and originating of transforming.
(PARSE, 2014, P. 47)
Third principle – TRANSCENDENCE
