Specialist Sections
Because of the far-reaching implications of the human givens approach, many different fields now benefit from incorporating this important new shift in our understanding of human functioning.
HGI specialist interest groups can be set up by HGI members who share specialist skills, interests and employment, to pool information and resources, and promote the use of the human givens paradigm in their particular field. This is very much a work in progress and we would particularly welcome hearing from anyone interested in establishing a specialist interest group for those using the HG approach within the NHS or education.
Specialist sections can also be set up to look at specific topics, such as philosophy or politics, through an HG lens.
Our current HGI specialist interest groups are:
- The HGI Practice Research Network
- Story sharing group (view full details in members area)
We invite any members wishing to apply to start a new section, to contact the HGI office with details of your ideas for consideration by the HGI board.
