A volume in Advances in Cultural Psychology
Series Editor: Jaan Valsiner, Aalborg University
This book is long awaited within the contemporarily creative field of cultural psychologies. It is
a theoretical synthesis that is at the level of innovations that Sigmund Freud, James Mark
Baldwin, William Stern, Kurt Lewin, Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky and Jan Smedslund have
brought into psychology over the past century (...).Here we can observe a creative solution to
integrating cultural psychology with the rich traditions of psychodynamic perspectives, without
repeating the conceptual impasses in which many psychoanalytic perspectives have become
caught. (Jaan Valsiner)
