Description: "The newly developing field of cultural psychology stresses the inherently dynamic and emergent nature of human psychological phenomena. In studying psychological emergence, one must be ready to explain what is not yet in existence on the basis of what is presently known, inclusive of the expectations for the future. This volume documents the efforts of an international team of scholars who are studying various emergent phenomena from a microgenetic vantage point. Topics include visual gestalt perception, meaning making about violence, symbolic self-soothing, daydreaming, and early development of subject-object relations. Each contribution is followed by a critical commentary that aims to stimulate further reflection on the subject matter."--Jacket.
