Produktbeschreibung
In this thoughtful collection, thirteen eminent psychologists from diverse schools of thought examine their professional identities in the context of their personal biographies. The contributors address challenging questions about identity in relation to personality development, language and socialisation, how individuals are shaped by cultural and religious contexts, but also actively and imaginatively make sense of and position ourselves historically and culturally. Their personal recollections demonstrate the reciprocal relationship between their varied approaches in modern psychology including social constructionism, narrative psychology, feminism, phen omenology and psychoanalysis and lived experience. This unique insight in to the lives of influential psychologists is compelling reading for psychologists reflecting on their professional practice, and for anyone investigating issues of selfhood and identity from a psychological or philosophical perspective.
