نویسنده
چکیده
Harry Stack Sullivan proposed a developmental model of sentience, of “any...primary data of experience” (Sullivan, 1953, p. 28). This article uses theory and case study examples to explore Sullivan’s developmental model in two ways. First, the scope of applicability of the model is extended to everyday experience. Second, using Sullivan’s other developmental theories as analogy, extension of his theory of sentience is drawn to a natural conclusion, incorporating the more contemporary notion of intersubjectivity.
