Kegan does rely heavily on edited transcripts of therapy sessions, so it’s not ungrounded, but then he jumps to extreme abstractions, and it’s often frustrating how much middle ground is missing. Especially in 4->5 transition which is what I’m most interested in currently.

The Eggplant book is roughly a synthesis of Kegan with the ethnomethodology of science, which is hyper-specific. Again too specific, so I’m having to fill in the middle ground, but it’s a productive contrast.
