Synopsis
To what degree does choice play a role in the development of one′s identity? Is identity something that is self-constructed? In what way might one′s identity change over time? In Identity and Development a group of scholars and academics from such diverse fields as psychology, psychoanalysis, history, and literature yield a diverse, yet shared, understanding of these issues. Organized into three major parts: psychoanalysis, history and literature, and psychology, this volume provides a lucid and thoughtful analysis of identity and development and the relations between them. Each section is introduced by a description of the role of each chapter and the role that the section plays in the volume as a whole. The book also includes introductory and concluding chapters that provide the context as well as the summation of a multidisciplinary approach to identity and development. An interdisciplinary yet cohesive book, Identity and Development illustrates how sharing perspectives can help one understand identity and development to its fullest and begin to consider alternative modes of thinking. A landmark volume, Identity and Development will be of interest to those involved in developmental psychology, family studies, education, psychology, and sociology. "Identity and Development is one of the most engaging texts on identity that this reviewer has had the fortune to read. Harke A. Bosma and colleagues . . . have done a remarkable job of tracing the intellectual history of thinking and research in the areas of identity development. . . . The chapters on how to empirically study aspects of identity such as the ego are also especially well done. . . . Highly recommended for college students of all levels, researchers, and professionals."
