Opis

Cigdem Kagitcibasi's influential volume was a tour de force of integration and synthesis that challenged the existing assumptions in mainstream western psychology about the nature of individuals. During the past two decades since the original volume s publication, cultural and cross-cultural research and theory on the self, family, and human development have expanded greatly. Nevertheless, basic issues and paradigms show some stability. This Classic Edition is a critical assessment, consideration, and reflection of the recent scholarship in this field. It provides an overall evaluation of the book in the light of some current prevailing perspectives and appraises these perspectives. It also brings the earlier work up to date and adds value to the volume."
