Abstract
The purpose of this conclusive chapter is to argue that Identity, as differentiated developmentally by Model8 (Fig. 5.4), is the major supra-ordinate construct based on a combination of Communal Presence or Being and Agentic Power defined by Doing/Performance and Having/Production (Model7). Identity, however, is preceded by all the previous models of RCT1–6 and is basic to models that compose it, especially Models12 and 15 (Fig. 6.1).
Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic.
