This term applies to an approach to relating, communicating, and learning that involves mutuality and active engagement of participants.
Patient-centered care is a term most commonly used in medicine. However, additional 'centered' terms are emerging to reflect a wellness model and more wholistic view of self-in-relationship (person, family, relationship). Other disciplines have adopted different terms, e.g., learner-centered in education, and culture-centered in communications.
What these terms have in common is an underlying relational paradigm based on mutual respect, shared power and inclusion or interbeingness. Multiple ways of knowing are honored.
