The Fossett Framework approaches human identity through a theological-anthropological perspective, examining how rupture, grief, loss, and identity disruption affect human beings relationally, emotionally, spiritually, existentially, and socially. Rather than treating identity solely as a psychological construct, the framework explores identity as deeply connected to meaning, belonging, relational orientation, and human continuity.
Human Identity and Rupture
Within the framework, experiences of separation, loss, emotional fragmentation, relational instability, and existential disorientation are understood as disruptions that affect the structures through which individuals understand themselves and interpret reality. These disruptions influence not only emotional life, but also narrative continuity, relational coherence, and human perception.
Interdisciplinary Exploration
The Fossett Framework engages interdisciplinary perspectives including theology, psychology, anthropology, grief studies, pastoral care, emotional labor research, and existential reflection. These perspectives function as conversation partners within the broader theological-anthropological structure of the framework.
