Chapter Seven shows how the stages of Adult Developmental Theory shape ART. What's essential to ART is understanding how to make collaboration succeed by moving from independence to interdependence with others. A woman who plays the comparison game between herself and female colleagues is shown as an example of this theory. Exploring her own discomfort through developmental reflexivity is key in stepping forward to collaborate with others. ARTists must help people rise to maturity in situations of disagreement. Personal reflection, facing our shadow selves, and building developmental friendships all play a key role in working together to make this happen. In doing this, systems of hierarchies evolve.
