One of our editorial policies is to provide a forum for discussion on various key issues in our field. This is important because there are many different vantage points to some issues. The Forum section of the journal allows individuals to reflect on these matters from their own viewpoints. Doreen Kronick of Toronto, Ontario, reflects upon a series of articles on the paradigms of holism and empiricism that appeared in this journal (see Poplin, August/September 1988, and Heshusius, August/September 1989).—JIM.
