Abstract

This book presents a coherent framework for the balanced development of emotions and cognition throughout the lifespan. It synthesizes rich sources across psychology and neuroscience to show that the brain is hard-wired for basic emotions as well as reasoning, and that these structures mature as individuals learn social rules in interactions with others and progress through complex relationships. In contrast to traditional views that held emotions and cognition to be opposing domains, the author builds on recent views that emphasize the ideal of a cooperative relationship among the two domains. Central to this construct is the fragile balance of expansion and stability that is crucial to both cognitive and affective development: how it can be nurtured for optimal functioning, and how, in contrast,  the absence of such a caring context functions to derail growth and encourage  pathology that can be carried into later stages of the lifespan. This groundbreaking volume: Traces historical changes in conceptions of the relation between reason and emotion from ancient philosophy to modern science. Expands on Piaget's theories of alternating phases of equilibrium in cognitive development and details how these contribute toward integrated cognitive-emotional growth. Discusses neurobiological mechanisms contributing to balance between emotional and cognitive development. Presents examples of the integration of cognitive/emotional development from infancy to adulthood. Explores the relationships between affect and cognition in later life. Integrating Emotions and Cognition Throughout the Lifespan is an essential resource for researchers, graduate students, and clinicians in a range of disciplines, including developmental psychology, aging, educational philosophy, biological psychology, and personality/social psychology.  .

Abstract

In Psyche and Eros, first published in 1994, Gisela Labouvie-Vief describes historical and current concepts of mind and development, drawing from disciplines as diverse as philosophy, mythology, religion, literature, and psychology. She then presents a powerful theory of the maturing of mind, which brings together her empirical work and her exploration into mythology. The classical Greek myth of the gods Psyche and Eros serves as an evocative illustration of the author's theory. Psyche and Eros asserts that the core experience of development differs along gender lines. Rationality is regarded as masculine, while imagination is viewed as feminine. Competition between 'masculine' and 'feminine' parts of the mind has limited our ability to describe the mind and its development over the life course, just as it limits our experiences of development as men and women. The author suggests that we overcome the dualistic way of thinking about mind, and see how rationality and imagination can complement each other.

Abstract

Tout au long de leur existence, les individus suivent des chemins singuliers dont les trajectoires ne sont pas le fait de leur seule volonté ou du hasard. Ces cheminements se révèlent souvent générateurs d'inégalités entre les personnes, notamment au cours des transitions des âges de la vie (enfance, adolescence, âge adulte, grand âge), ou lors de différentes étapes (mariage, divorce, deuil, etc.). En croisant les regards de chercheuses et chercheurs issus des sciences psychologiques, sociales et économiques, cet ouvrage se focalise sur la manière dont les inégalités se creusent ou se réduisent au fil des trajectoires et sur les étapes et transitions décisives dans ce processus. Cet ouvrage interdisciplinaire met en relief la richesse d'une approche des inégalités dans la perspective dynamique du parcours de vie. Il intéressera tout particulièrement les étudiants, professeurs et chercheurs en sciences sociales, psychologiques, économiques et en sciences de l'éducation, mais aussi de façon plus générale le public concerné par ces questions.
