This book reconstructs the foundations of developmental and
educational psychology and fills an important gap in the field by
arguing for a specific spatial turn so that human growth,
experience and development focus not only on time but space. This
regards space not simply as place. Highlighting concrete
cross-cultural relational spaces of concentric and diametric
spatial systems, the book argues that transition between these
systems offers a new paradigm for understanding agency and
inclusion in developmental and educational psychology, and for
relating experiential dimensions to causal explanations. The
chapters examine key themes for developing concentric spatial
systemic responses in education, including school climate,
bullying, violence, early school leaving prevention and students'
voices. Moreover, the book proposes an innovative framework of
agency as movement between concentric and diametric spatial
relations for a reconstruction of resilience. This model addresses
the vital neglected issue of resistance to sheer cultural
conditioning and goes beyond the foundational ideas of
Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory, as well as Vygotsky,
Skinner, Freud, Massey, Bruner, Gestalt and postmodern psychology
to reinterpret them in dynamic spatial systemic terms. Written by
an internationally renowned expert, this book is a valuable
resource for academics, researchers and postgraduate students in
the areas of educational and developmental psychology, as well as
related areas such as personality theory, health psychology, social
work, teacher education and anthropology.
