Jean Piaget: Children and the Inclusion Problem (Revised Edition)
by Robert PerrucciJean Piaget, renowned Swiss developmental psychologist and epistemologist, is best known for his groundbreaking studies with children, which led him to develop a landmark theory of cognitive development. Geldolph A. Kohnstamm's Jean Piaget: Children and the Inclusion Problem is a critical study of a cornerstone of Piaget's theory. This theory holds that a child's ability to solve problems of class inclusion marks the beginning of the period of concrete (logical) operations at about seven or eight years of age.Kohnstamm's experiments show, however, that with directive teaching methods, most children of five can already learn to solve inclusion problems. His results make him question the basic assumption of Piaget's theory that logical operations can only develop in firmly connected groupings of operations, not in isolation. The author argues that experimenters must therefore show that children who come to master one kind of operation should also show transference to other operations of the same grouping. As a result, he questions the real existence in brain functioning of the hypothesized groupings of operations in Piaget's theory.This book is a revised edition of the 1967 original and includes a new introduction and epilogue. The original book was published in the Netherlands, not in the United States. Therefore it has reached only a negligible US audience and has sadly escaped the attention of many interested in Piaget's developmental theory. This challenge to Piaget's theory is an invaluable resource for cognitive, developmental, and educational psychologists.
Jean Piaget and Neuchâtel: The Learner and the Scholar
by Anne-Nelly Perret-Clermont Jean-Marc BarreletJean Piaget is widely acknowledged as one of the most important scholars of the twentieth century. His passionate philosophical search for an understanding of the nature of knowledge led him to make major contributions to the study of child development and epistemology. But how did his early life in Neuchâtel inspire him to embark on this search? Taking a socio-historical and cultural perspective, this book outlines the development of Piaget's understanding of major issues regarding mind, faith, science, logic, peace, and social rights in a time of anxiety. and world wars The international and multidisciplinary contributors investigate Piaget the adolescent as he begins his quest for autonomy of reason and sets out to create his own explanatory system for cognitive growth. The latter part of the book goes on to consider the early reception of Piaget's work in different cultural contexts and his impact on issues of psychology and educational reform. Piaget's theoretical system can be seen as an expression of the values he developed during his childhood and adolescence as he searched for the conditions of reciprocal relationships and rational dialogues. Jean Piaget and Neuchâtel demonstrates that in today's climate, the questions Piaget addressed remain very relevant and invite new enquiries from different standpoints. This book will therefore be of interest to psychologists, educators, and philosophers. This book is published with the support of Pro Helvetia, Swiss Arts Council.
Jean Piaget, Children and the Class-Inclusion Problem (Psychology Press & Routledge Classic Editions)
by Dolph KohnstammThe Classic Edition of Dolph Kohnstamm’s Jean Piaget, Children and the Class-Inclusion Problem, first published in 1967, includes a new introduction by the author, describing for readers the original context for his work, how the field has moved forward and the ongoing relevance of this volume. This enduring text offers a critical study of a cornerstone of Piaget’s theory that a child's ability to solve problems of class-inclusion marks the beginning of the period of concrete (logical) operations at about 7 or 8 years of age. Kohnstamm's experiments show, however, that, with a teaching method that provokes children’s authentic logical thinking processes, most children of 5 can already learn to solve a variety of class-inclusion problems, up to a level where they can even invent similar but new problems themselves. These results question the basic assumption of Piaget's theory that logical operations can only develop in firmly connected groupings of operations. Kohnstamm argues that experimenters must, therefore, show that children who come to master one kind of operation should also show transference to other operations of the same grouping. This insightful volume questions the real existence in brain functioning of Piaget’s families of logical operations. No experimental proof of such families has ever been demonstrated, and thus is solely an assumption in Piaget’s theory. This challenge to Piaget's theory is an invaluable resource for students and scholars of cognitive, developmental and educational psychology.

Jenseits der Masken: Ideen und Übungen für ein authentisches und selbstbestimmtes Leben
by Oliver FlorigHerauszufinden, wer Sie eigentlich sind und sein möchten, stellt eine große Herausforderung dar: Dieser Ratgeber unterstützt Sie dabei. Der Wunsch, wirklich man selbst zu sein, zählt zu den großen Sehnsüchten moderner westlicher Menschen. Man selbst zu werden setzt voraus, sich auf die Schliche zu kommen: In welcher Weise vermeide ich es, ich selbst zu sein? Welche Erwartungen anderer und welche inneren Muster steuern mich bisher? Was liegt mir eigentlich am Herzen? Was sind meine Aufgaben im Leben? Um diese Fragen zu beantworten, darf, kann, muss man sich zugleich mit seiner inneren Stimme und der Welt auseinandersetzen. Dabei zeigt sich auch: Man selbst wird man dann, wenn man nicht krampfhaft um sich selbst kreist, sondern ein Leben lebt, das den eigenen Einsichten und Werten entspricht. Aus dem Inhalt: Neue Perspektiven aus Psychologie und Philosophie – Fragen zur Anwendung auf Ihre konkrete Lebenssituation – Fallbeispiele – Übungen und Beobachtungsaufgaben. Über den Autor: Dr. Oliver Florig ist als Therapeut, Coach und Paarberater mit Praxis in Kempten und Heidelberg tätig. Anlass für dieses Buch war eine Frage, die ihm in seiner Praxis immer wieder begegnet, nämlich die Frage, was es heißt, ein authentisches und selbstbestimmtes Leben zu führen.
Jephthah’s Daughter, Sarah’s Son: The Death of Children in Late Antiquity (Christianity in Late Antiquity #8)
by Maria E. DoerflerLate antiquity was a perilous time for children, who were often the first victims of economic crisis, war, and disease. They had a one in three chance of dying before their first birthday, with as many as half dying before age ten. Christian writers accordingly sought to speak to the experience of bereavement and to provide cultural scripts for parents who had lost a child. These late ancient writers turned to characters like Eve and Sarah, Job and Jephthah as models for grieving and for confronting or submitting to the divine. Jephthah's Daughter, Sarah’s Son traces the stories these writers crafted and the ways in which they shaped the lived experience of familial bereavement in ancient Christianity. A compelling social history that conveys the emotional lives of people in the late ancient world, Jephthah's Daughter, Sarah's Son is a powerful portrait of mourning that extends beyond antiquity to the present day.

Jerks at Work: Toxic Coworkers and What to Do About Them
by Tessa WestA practical and hilarious guide to getting difficult people off your back, for anyone pulling their hair out over an irritating colleague who's not technically breaking any rulesFrom open floor plans and Zoom calls to Slack channels, the workplace has changed a lot over the years. But there&’s one thing that never changes: you&’ll always encounter jerks. Jerks at Work is the definitive guide to dealing with—and ultimately breaking free from—the overbearing bosses, irritating coworkers, and all-around difficult people who make work and life miserable. Social psychologist Tessa West has spent years leveraging science to help people solve interpersonal conflicts in the workplace. What she discovered is that most of our go-to tactics don&’t work because they fail to address the specific motivations that drive bad behavior. In this book, she takes you on a rollicking deep dive of the seven jerks you&’re most likely to encounter at the office, drawing on decades of original research to expose their inner workings and weak points—and ultimately deliver an effective game plan for stopping each type before they take you down with them. Jerks at Work is packed with everyday examples and clever strategies, such as how to: • Stop a Bulldozer from gaining influence by making sure they're not the first to speak up in meetings • Report a Kiss Up/Kick Downer to a manager who idolizes them without looking like the bad guy • Protect your high-achieving team from Free Riders without stifling collaboration • Use a Gaslighter&’s tactics to beat them at their own game For anyone who&’s said &“I can&’t stand that jerk!&” more times than they&’d like to admit, Jerks at Work is the ultimate playbook you wish you didn&’t need but will always turn to.

Jesus and Personality Theory: Exploring the Five-Factor Model
by James R. BeckIn recent years researchers in human personality have come to a rarely achieved near unanimous conclusion: human personality is structured around a very few major traits, probably five in number. These factors, sometimes called the Big Five and represented by the acronym OCEAN, are Openness to experience -- Conscientiousness -- Extroversion -- Agreeableness --Neuroticism. How does this Five-Factor Model fit with a Christian understanding of human nature? How does it compare or contrast with the way Jesus lived, taught and counseled? James Beck looks at prominent themes in the teaching and ministry of Jesus and how they relate to the five personality factors. Here is a study of the Christian implications of the new model--a study that will offer fresh insights for students, pastors and therapists alike.

The Jew of Culture: Freud, Moses, And Modernity
by Philip RieffRieff’s long career, "Jew of culture" would serve as foil, counter type, corrective, and adversary to the "therapeutics" who represented both Rieff’s analysands and his antagonists. The purpose of this collection of Rieff’s writings, undertaken at his suggestion, is to trace the evolution of the "Jew of culture" over the course of his work. In doing so we gain particular insight into his distinctive theory of society and the self; we also come to better understand the theorist.
Jewish Exiles’ Psychological Interpretations of Nazism
by Avihu ZakaiThis book examines works of four German-Jewish scholars who, in their places of exile, sought to probe the pathology of the Nazi mind: Wilhelm Reich’s The Mass Psychology of Fascism (1933), Erich Fromm’s Escape from Freedom (1941), Siegfried Kracauer’s From Caligari to Hitler: A Psychological History of the German Film (1947), and Erich Neumann’s Depth Psychology and a New Ethic (1949). While scholars have examined these authors’ individual legacies, no comparative analysis of their shared concerns has yet been undertaken, nor have the content and form of their psychological inquiries into Nazism been seriously and systematically analyzed. Yet, the sense of urgency in their works calls for attention. They all took up their pens to counter Nazi barbarism, believing, like the English jurist and judge Sir William Blackstone, who wrote in 1753 - scribere est agere ("to write is to act").
