[edit] Complimentary

Um, complimentary schismogensis doesn't have to be between men and women. It can result when any two people don't share a cultural component to a communication. I'm going to edit the article to take that into account, and feel free to revert it if you wish -- Blain

[edit] Suggestion

Is it worth mentionning, sociololinguist, Deborah Tannen's adaptation of Bateson's "complementary schismogenesis?" She applies the term to conversations in that "each one's reaction to the other results in increasingly exaggerated forms of the opposing behavior."

[edit] References

We need a reference to Bateson's original use of the word from the 1930s. Was it in Naven? And I found several references to Steven Feld. I presume the 1994 is the official version, but I'll just make a note of the others here. --RichardVeryard 14:17, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
