This is a multi-perspective look at how multilevel development looks in practice. Join Kate Arms and Tracy Winter as they share their two perspectives on Tracy’s development as she moved from disorganized to organized disintegration with Kate’s coaching support. Learn how Kate used the Theory of Positive Disintegration to support her coaching. And listen to the impact that it had on Tracy. We look at how unilevel development continues through the process and discuss the asynchrony of development across multiple developmental threads.
