General Human Psychology cover

The book includes a new theoretical synthesis of William Stern’s classic personology published in the 1930s with contemporary cultural psychology of semiotic mediation developed by the author over the last two decades. It looks at the human mind as it operates in its full complexity, starting from the most complex general levels of aesthetic and political participation in society and ending with individual willful actions in everyday life contexts.

 

“Valsiner’s proposal for a new general psychology which grounds its foundation in semiotics and develops within an epistemological dynamic, integrational and dialogue-based framework is intriguing and challenging. Aspiring to move within fragmentations and towards such a theoretical synthesis, along with the adoption of a methodology allowing the creation of adequate methods and a research evaluation process, could represent the evolutionary change that has not been observed in psychology for too long.” (Raffaele Modugno, Human Arenas, Vol. 5 (4), 2022)
