Inhaltsangabe

In this book Jan D. Sinnott synthesizes her 20 years of research on lifespan cognitive development to describe the growth of complex (or `postformal') thought in adults. She shows specifically how adults improve mentally over a lifetime and learn to think in more complex and wiser ways. Applications of postformal thought are demonstrated in such diverse areas as - family relations - adult education - personal identity - and spirituality. Chapters examine relations between postformal thought and pertinent variables such as age, health, memory, and vocabulary. Other sections deal with issues in humanistic psychology such as - guided imagery - mind - body medicine - and creative intentionality.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Jan D. Sinnott, PHD, is a Professor of Psychology at Towson University in Baltimore, Maryland. She recently celebrated 45 years of teaching and research focused on adult lifespan development and particularly the development of Postformal Thought as a later stage of Piagetian operations. Her extensive writing lately has focused on postformal aspects of identity in a rapidly changing world (she is Editor of Springer's series by that name), political change and postformal thought, and the benefits of moving beyond binary thinking about the "wicked" problems of life that do not yield to binary analyses. Her research Lab is currently investigating the stress-reducing aspects of virtual reality of nature and cognitive abilities needed to process actual reality and virtual reality simultaneously.
