Opis

The book argues for an understanding of the person where the social world is not a set of variables that affect a pre-existing individual, but is instead the arena where the person becomes formed.

Recenzje

'Vivien Burr's book takes us on a 100 year journey in a very short space and equips the reader with a vision as to how to move forward.' - Richard Mallows, St John' College, York

'Burr provides a clear introduction to a wide range of interesting alternatives to experimental social psychology ... it was only when I reached the end of the book that I realised how thorough she had been in going about the business of undermining the foundations of mainstream psychology.' - John L. Smith, University of Sunderland
