Socialisation is here understood as the process of the emergence,
formation and development of personality in dependence on and
interaction with the human organism on the one hand and the social
and material environment on the other hand. In this thoughtful
book, Klaus Hurrelmann analyses the concepts of human development
underlying the different sociological and psychological theories of
personality development that he presents and compares. He then
proposes his own concept of socialisation: the individual as a
productive processor of internal and external reality. He goes on
to discuss the organised societal contexts of socialisation (such
as schools) and the family and other informal settings; and to
review research on the relation between living conditions, risk
factors in stress, psychosocial disorders and strategies for
prevention and intervention. A wide readership will welcome this
comprehensive view of the relationship between social structure and
personality.
