COMMENTARIES
		by Helen Palmer:  • The Limitations of Categorizing  • The Inner Observer  • The Narrative Tradition by Marlene Cresci Cohen:  • Applications of the Enneagram to Psychological Assessment

With a history of centuries, the Enneagram is arguably the oldest human development system on the planet.  During the past decade, the system has undergone a renewal of scholarly attention within the context of current personality typologies.  The result is a reliable integration of psychological insight about human differences, set alongside a non-sectarian body of spiritual practice that relaxes inner resistance while encouraging inner receptivity.

The word enneagram means a graph of nine.  Each of the nine Enneagram personality profiles has a distinct, well-developed coping strategy for relating to self, others and the environment.  Each of the nine types also has its own precise path to psychological and spiritual freedom.
