The expectations upon us...demand something more than mere behavior, the acquisition of specific skills, or the mastery of particular knowledge. They make demands on our minds, on how we know, on the complexity of our consciousness.         Robert  Kegan, 1994  *Just as the Chinese language contains a character that fuses the emotional and rational aspects of the mind, constructive-developmental psychologists Jean Piaget, Lawrence Kohlberg, James Rest, Robert Kegan, and others view emotion and cognition as integrated.
