One goal of this volume is to critically examine existing
metatheory in psychology. Its second goal is to portray how
particular psychological endeavors can be enhanced by the
application of metatheories, alternatives to the traditional
mechanistic outlook. The alternative conceptual frameworks explored
in this volume, namely, contextualism and dialectics, assume a
fluid and metaphorical view of change, growth, development, and
transformation. The areas of clinical and developmental psychology
are fields wich are primarily concerned with explaining and
promoting change. This volume offers a fresh conceptual perspective
on psychological change.
