In order to really make a commitment one needs a certain mélange of optimism, self-confidence, trust in the environment, a vision, a dream or an aim, direction, energy, strength, skills, support, courage… or in other words - hope.

These and more I saw when I was first approached by the quadrant - KYDA – later to be known as the "Gestalt Foundation", some 20' years ago. This was what drew me to them and enhanced my standing commitment to be there when they call on me that is still standing.

My proposal is to look at commitment as a developmental event/experience and to try to encode the dynamics that characterize it with special regard to HOPE as an essential ingredient.
