The New Johari Window #33: Alternative Johari Models I. The Disjointed Model
The disjointed model highlights the dynamic interaction between Quad Four and it’s opposite quadrant, Quad One. While the original Johari Window requires that Quad Four material move through Quad Two or Quad Three before moving on to Quad One, the disjointed model allows for an immediate movement of Quad Four material into Quad One.

The New Johari Window #6: Awareness of Self and the Postmodern Condition
We live in a world of complexity, uncertainty and turbulence that continues to call into question our sense of a coherent self and our sense of a consistent set of interpersonal relationships.
The New Johari Window #4: Three Perspectives on Human Relationships
I specifically look at human interaction and the Johari Window from three perspectives—three ways in which to appreciate the deep nature of interpersonal relationships.
The New Johari Window #3: Locus of Control
For some of us, there is a bias toward the intra-psychic demands and potentials of life. For others, the external demands and potentials hold great sway
