There are up to one hundred eighty meaningful combinations of these words. Not all combinations are necessarily meaningful and/or different. Yet it is dangerous to fail be aware of and describe the integrative and/or disintegrative character of those processes which may be pointed to by the meaningful combinations of the words. As is often the case it is more helpful to describe the disintegrative consequences of some forms of behavior than it is to try to prescribe what should be regarded as integrative behavior. Prescribing proper behavior often entails disintegrative consequences. It is often more difficult to describe integrative behavior without slipping into being prescriptive/coercive. Human processes are likely to be disintegrative if they entail (coercive, manipulative, violent or unilateral) kinds of (wants, desires, duties, responsibilities, or expectations.) Human processes are likely to be disintegrative if they entail (wants, desires, duties, responsibilities or expectations) of control over (gifts, receptions, acceptance, exchange, sale, acquisition, getting, ownership, or control) of various forms of personal (affection, intimacy, hugs, or sex). Confusion regarding important differences tends to be disintegrative, for when in a state of confusion it is impossible to make wise decisions or to learn from experiencing the consequences of mistakes previously made.
