- “The degree to which a person believes he or she can chose and act freely”(W. McWHINNEY, 1995, p. 5)
McWHINNEY writes: “People vary in the degrees to which they recognize free will , that is, on how much they can personally and collectively control behavior in their environments ” (Ibid p. 4)
For a better appreciation of this notion, see “Autonomy ”and more precisely P. VENDRYES's (1908-1989) views.(1956 and 1981)
