Recenzii

'Contemporary psychology has supplemented its traditional cabinet of curiosities, where inner substances such as 'intelligence' and 'extraversion' have long been on display, with the discovery of several others we didn't know we have. Virtuous substances such as 'self-esteem', 'grit', and 'self-compassion' are now exhibited alongside more noxious substances, such as post-traumatic stress disorder or Borderline Personality Disorder. For those who might, at this point, feel there are just too many inner substances to keep track of, Paul van Geert and Naomi de Ruiter offer some relief. They argue that many research programs in psychology get caught up in their own dubious assumptions, neglecting the vicissitudes of individual lives as lived over time. With learning and humor, ranging from Ancient Greece to Monty Python, they invite readers to contemplate a less rigid, more dynamic and process-oriented research agenda in psychology.' Paul Harris, Victor S. Thomas Professor of Education, Harvard University, USA
'Van Geert and de Ruiter present a bold and comprehensive denouncement of status quo psychological science to argue for a more ontologically valid process and systems orientation. A guide for how to move the science forward, this is a must-read for all social scientists at any level of experience.' Tom Hollenstein, Professor in the Department of Psychology, Queen's University, Canada
'This book is a breath of fresh air for psychology. It inspires us to question conventional assumptions and practices, and to think about human behavior in new ways. Using an impressive range of interdisciplinary sources, van Geert and de Ruiter masterfully and convincingly demonstrate how systems theory and a process framework can significantly advance basic and applied psychology.' Catherine Raeff, Ph.D., Theoretical and Developmental Psychologist, USA
'This important book has it all. It provides an in-depth yet highly accessible explanation of the complex systems approach to psychology, while exposing the limitations of conventional approaches. This is a must-read for anyone who yearns to understand the dynamics of human experience and is looking for the path forward.' Robin R. Vallacher, Professor and Interim Chair, Florida Atlantic University, USA and Research Associate, Center for Complex Systems, University of Warsaw, Poland
'Van Geert and de Ruiter provide psychological scientists with a timely admonition: our discipline's mainstream research practices and assumptions have yielded a base of knowledge and view of reality wholly out of touch with the time- and context-sensitive dynamics of people and their functioning. Written with exceptional clarity, precision, and scope, this remarkable new book adds immeasurably to the growing list of scholarly works challenging science's orthodox ontology of substance in favor of a process ontology.' David Witherington, Associate Professor, The University of New Mexico, USA
