In the current ever changing world - the liquid modernity - the
most pressing psychological challenge to all of us is to create and
maintain a personal balance between mental stability and mental
flexibility. In Transformative Learning and Identity Knud Illeris,
one of the leading thinkers on the way people learn, explores,
updates and re-defines the concept and understanding of
transformative learning while linking the concept of transformative
learning to the concept of identity. He thoroughly discusses what
transformative learning is or could be in a broader learning
theoretical perspective, including various concepts of learning by
change, as opposed to learning by addition, and ends up with a new,
short and distinct definition. He also explores and discusses the
concept of identity and presents a general model depicting the
complexity of identities today. Building on the work of Mezirow,
various perspectives of transformative learning are analysed and
discussed, including; transformative learning in different life
ages; progressive and regressive transformations; motivation and
identity defence; development of identity; personality and
competence, and transformative learning in school, education,
working life, and in relation to current and future life
conditions. This vital new book by one of the leading learning
theorists of our time will prove of lasting interest to academics,
teachers, instructors, leaders and researchers in the field of
adult learning and education. It will also appeal to many students
and researchers of psychology and sociology in general.
