Opis

The primary purpose of this book is to provide a state-of-the-art look at how the study of consciousness is in the midst of a great renaissance. While honouring Jerome Singer's impressive career in psychology, this volume also demonstrates the broad and integrative influence the study of consciousness is having across subdisciplines of psychology - experimental, personality, developmental, social and clinical. The contributors to this volume represent both pioneers in the study of consciousness and contemporary researchers whose work has followed in the spirit of their predecessors' seminal work. This book should serve as a statement about psychology's understanding of the role of consciousness in affective and cognitive processes, the development of imagination in children, and its application to the practice of psychotherapy.

Recenzje

"The pioneering aspects of Singer's work are remarkable. So is the breadth and influence of his thinking. It is about time that a Festschrift dedicated to him made its appearance. This book, At Play in the Fields of Consciousness, edited by his son Jefferson and his protégé Peter Salovey, is suitably titled and appropriately represents Singer's influence....this book represents a fitting tribute to Jerome L. Singer and provides some good reading besides."
