Abstract

45 THE HINGE OF THE DOOR TO AUTHENTIC ADULTHOOD: A KIERKEGAARDIAN INSPIRED SYNTHESIS OF THE MEANING OF LEAVING HOME Melodie C.L. Alapack and Richard J. Alapack To leave home, truly and finally, has haunted me all of my adult life. Often the issue lay dormant and I strained to depart unaware. At particular times I struggled in a vividly conscious way. Approximately three years ago I took deliberate action with respect to my family of origin which prompted a clearer understanding of the issue. In spirit I walk with Kierkegaard in attempting to rigorously, reflectively illuminate that phenomenon. My psychological method is quickened by his anthropological- epistemological-hermeneutical principle: "Unum noris omnes (if you know one, you know all)" (Kierkegaard, 1980, p. 79); "all understanding is self-understanding" (Nordentoff, 1978, p. 2).
