Abstract
This book seeks a fundamental shift in spatial systems of experience and understanding that govern basic assumptions of Western modernist traditions reliant on empty space and diametric spatial oppositions. A shift towards concentric relational spaces of assumed connection and relative openness for experience and thought is proposed for psychology, as well as social and emotional education. To do so requires interrogation of concepts usually peripheral to psychology, such as othering, the iron cage, fear of freedom. as well as integration of depth psychology with social and emotional education in cross-cultural, spatial terms. Space is being treated as both a domain of analysis and a method of interpretation, as part of this proposed interdisciplinary paradigm shift for psychology, education, and the humanities and social sciences more widely.
