Originally published in 1983 the main aim of this volume was to suggest new ways of conceptualizing human development and new domains of theorizing and engaging in practice for those who were vitally concerned with the nature and value of human beings. Toward this goal colleagues and students of the later Heinz Werner believing that Werner provided the schema for such a vision here present modifications extensions and elaborations of his insights concerning the nature of development. The Wernerian approach in origin and aim is concerned with the development of the whole human being. The papers here were intended only as a stimulus to provoke others as well as the contributors themselves to a new yet old approach to human experience thought and action. Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context. |Toward a Holistic Developmental Psychology
