      %COMMUNAL CONTEXTS FOR MEETING PERSONAL NEEDS 880312

     A   community  enjoys  both  personal  and   communal
integrity  to the extent that the community  provides  for
its members' communal contexts within which the members of
the  community  can  enjoy  communal  support  toward  the
meeting  of their true personal needs.   It is not  always
simple to  distinguish  between true  personal  needs  and
unreasonable/disintegrative desires/wants.

     An  integrative community feels no responsibility  to
help an addict fulfill the addict's for fixes.   Fixes are
not true personal needs.   By their  nature  fixes lead to
disintegration.   The meeting of true personal  needs does
not lead to disintegration.

     It  is  of great importance for a society to  have  a
clear  conception  of how to tell the  difference  between
addicts "needs"  for fixes and the genuine personal  needs
of healthy people.   Such a clear conception is not likely
to  operate in an integrative way without a clear  set  of
concepts relating to both personal and communal integrity:
what  the essential features are as regards  elements  and
relationships,   what promotes integration,  what promotes
disintegration,   what the symptoms of such processes are,
etc.
