Family, Self, and Human Development Across Cultures

Çi-dem Kä-tç-bä-'s influential volume was a work of masterful scholarship and field-defining thought that challenged the existing assumptions in mainstream western psychology about the nature of individuals. During the past two decades since its publication, cultural and cross-cultural research and theory on the self, family, and human development have expanded greatly, developing fruitfully from the basic issues and paradigms Kä-tç-bä- explored. This Classic Edition provides a critical assessment, consideration, and reflection of recent scholarship in this field. It brings this essential work up to date and appraises it in the light of current prevailing perspectives.

Çigdem Kağıtçıbaşı is Professor in the Department of Psychology at Koç University.
