This is also a gap I've noticed, and a focus of mine (part of the
'cultural' in my 'cultural & ecological designing' rubric). Under
'internal aspects' I include intra- and inter-personal patterns and
relatings.
>(the woo woo aspect of things)
...and there's nothing necessarily wu-wu (regional spelling variation ;-)
about this, really - or at least, I have experience with very practical,
non-wu-wu approaches. Also with approaches that will be perceived as
wu-wu in various ways by various people for various reasons, which doesn't
mean they're not useful as well.
There's no shortage of wu-wu generated - some actual, some perceived. IME
at least some of the wu-wu generation is simply more ways of avoiding
actually dealing with internal aspects.
