Böcker av Vivien Burr

Focuses on questions of personality in everyday life that intrigue and puzzle us. This work introduces the reader to both the principles and the methods of the psychology of personal constructs.

The book argues for an understanding of the person where the social world is not a set of variables that affect a pre-existing individual, but is instead the arena where the person becomes formed.

This book explains theory and research in an accessible but thorough manner and critically evaluates the effect that psychology has made to the study of gender examining key issues such as parenting and inequalities in education.
