Although integrative conceptions of development have been gaining
increasing interest, there have been few attempts to bring together
the various threads of this emerging trend. The Handbook of
Integrative Developmental Science seeks ways to bring together
classic and contemporary theory and research in developmental
psychology with an eye toward building increasingly integrated
theoretical and empirical frameworks. It does so in the form of a
festschrift for Kurt Fischer, whose life and work have both
inspired and exemplified integrative approaches to development.
Building upon and inspired by the comprehensive scope of Fischer's
Dynamic Skill Theory, this book examines what an integrated theory
of psychological development might look like. Bringing together the
work of prominent integrative thinkers, the volume begins with an
examination of philosophical presuppositions of integrative
approaches to development. It then shows how Dynamic Skill Theory
provides an example of an integrative model of development. After
examining the question of the nature of integrative developmental
methodology, the volume examines the nature of developmental change
processes as well as pathways and processes in the development of
psychological structures both within and between psychological
domains. The team of expert contributors cover a range of
psychological domains, including the macro- and micro-development
of thought, feeling, motivation, self, intersubjectivity, social
relations, personality, and other integrative processes. It ends
with a set of prescriptions for the further elaboration of
integrative developmental theory, and a tribute to Kurt Fischer and
his influence on developmental psychology. This book will be
essential reading for graduate students and researchers of
developmental psychology and human development, specifically
developmental science.
