Each of the three great schools of developmental psy- chology
represented in this vo1ume--psychoana1ytic, cogni-
tive-developmental, and Vygotskian--diverges in important ways. But
more recent changes in each discipline have led to new
possibilities for theoretical integrations. Each ori- entation has
begun to focus upon the problem of "meaning construction", that is,
how a person's subjectivity and con- sciousness is created through
his interaction with signifi- cant others. Each discipline also
discovered that as it switched to meaning and interpretation as the
foci of their work, they had to reformulate and, in some cases,
reject po- sitions taken by their founding figures. The papers in
this volume attempt to describe the newest developments in each of
these fields and to foster a theoretical dialogue around the
concept of the self. The papers in this book emerged out of
discussions at a Conference on the Self, sponsored by the Center
for Psychosocial Studies in Chicago. For the psychoanalytic and
cognitive-developmental ap- proaches, we can observe a transition
from what we call the bio10gism of both traditional Freudian and
Piagetian memta- psychologies to a more
"communicative-interactionist" point of view. Psychoanalysts have
focused on the subjective expe- rience of their patients as
constituting a reality in its own right, and therefore have always
focused upon problems of communication and interpretation. But
Freud's emphasis on bio-sexua1 development led him to create a
metapsycho1ogy in which the basic organizing principle is that of
drive re- duction.
