Changing Conceptions of Psychological Life is an interdisciplinary
look at personal constructions of self. This book is a product of
the 30th Annual Meeting of the Jean Piaget Society. The
contributing authors constitute the original cast invited to speak
on the theme of how individuals come to construe psychological
lives--their own and others. Their concerns are how our sense of
ourselves emerges developmentally, culturally, and historically,
and the implications such constructions have for personal, social,
and political change. Together, the authors compose an
international and interdisciplinary group of scholars well regarded
for their work on topics as diverse as adolescence, language,
aging, romance, and morality. Creating a level of discourse about
selves and mind--and how they have been and should be studied--the
volume is broken down into four parts; Part I includes work that is
principally concerned with elevating the position of our experience
of ourselves in constructing who we are. The next section focuses
on the corrections presumed to exist between the conceptions of
self and the conceptions of mental life. Each chapter offers
additional information on the dynamics of temperament, attachment,
personality, and regulation. Part III is concerned with cultural
contexts that frame developing conceptions of self and mental life.
Finally, the last section situates conceptions of mental life
directly and dramatically in the social contexts of their making.
Readers will find in these pages a programmatic effort variously
attuned to selves and minds as dynamic and structured, present and
represented, felt and known, non-languaged and storied, and
embodied and theorized. The volume is suitable for certain
upper-level undergraduate and graduate seminars dealing with
clinical, cognitive, cultural, and developmental matters and sought
out by active researchers and practitioners in the field.
