This volume understands itself as an invitation to follow a
fundamental shift in perspective, away from the self-contained 'I'
of Western conventions, and towards a relational self, where
development and change are contingent on otherness. In the
framework of 'Dialogical Self Theory' (Hermans &
Hermans-Konopka, 2010; Hermans & Gieser, 2012), it is precisely
the forms of interaction and exchange with others and with the
world that determine the course of the self's development. The
volume hence addresses dialogical processes in human interaction
from a psychological perspective, bringing together previously
separate theoretical traditions about the 'self' and about
'dialogue' within the innovative framework of Dialogical Self
Theory. The book is devoted to developmental questions, and so
broaches one of the more difficult and challenging topics for
models of a pluralist self: the question of how the dynamics of
multiplicity emerge and change over time. This question is explored
by addressing ontogenetic questions, directed at the emergence of
the dialogical self in early infancy, as well as microgenetic
questions, addressed to later developmental dynamics in adulthood.
Additionally, development and change in a range of culture-specific
settings and practices is also examined, including the practices of
mothering, of migration and cross-cultural assimilation, and of
'doing psychotherapy'.
