Question

Don Handelman proposed using boundaries with “Moebius qualities” as an alternative to this thinker’s theory of ritual framing. This thinker used the example of dogs fighting to demonstrate how play creates metacommunicative relationships. “Repeated experience” and a “primary negative injunction” are central to a concept formulated by this thinker with psychotherapy theorists John Weakland and Donald Jackson. This thinker claimed that Alcoholics Anonymous followed systems theory in the essay “The Cybernetics of ‘Self’.” A series of (*) “metalogues” (10[1])with his daughter opens a work by this thinker that puts forth a “double-bind” theory of schizophrenia. This thinker identified “schismogenesis” among the Iatmul (-5[1])people of New Guinea while documenting their naven ritual. For 10 points, name this anthropologist who wrote Steps to an Ecology of Mind (10[1])and married Margaret Mead. ■END■ (10[1])
