Being and Becoming: ideals of mental health?

My observations are that conventional psychology/psychiatry has a prejudice against "becoming". To be one particular thing or another is considered respectable, but for somebody to be in a process of movement, from being one thing to becoming another incites all sorts of nervous reactions.

I draw much of my theory from Nietzsche, Bataille and practitioners of shamanism
