William Stern was an important German psychologist. What remains rather preserved from his scientific heritage is centered around the notion of intelligence and differential psychology. Yet, Stern’s scientific work is more complex than that. For instance, William Stern has laid the groundwork for a philosophical system – called critical personology – being a groundwork for the psychological sciences in general. This book tries to restore and expand Stern’s philosophical ideas of critical personology while showing pathways how to apply this expansion to applied fields of psychology such as career counselling, psychological mediation, psychotherapy, personnel selection among many other...
The “Re-Inventing Organic Metaphors for the Social Sciences” is a volume with the specific goal: to challenge psychological understandings by connecting psychological approaches with multidimensional perspectives of various other scientific streams, meanwhile imbedding the generated knowledge in metaphors that allows researchers to follow phenomena into a deeper and more (w)holistic understanding of its appearance. This is particularly important when the humankind faces challenges due to systemic biological changes, as the phenomenological dynamics bonded to those challenges can be conserved in appropriated context. For this purpose, the organic metaphors are introduced. A tool that has ...
This book is not only a direct study of gardens, but also an exploration of the relationship between personal and collective culture, an important component of cultural psychology. This perspective leads to the strange but fascinating question: "How does gardening relate to human development?"

In the process of constructing of a garden, nature becomes the object, on which various liminal, aesthetic, and symbolic activities are directly performed. The term “garden” encompasses a multitude of meanings. It is a place for recreation as well as a symbol...
The book includes a new theoretical synthesis of William Stern’s classic personology published in the 1930s with contemporary cultural psychology of semiotic mediation developed by the author over the last two decades.

Kaum eine andere Pfarrkirche des Landes Brandenburg besitzt eine so reiche Ausstattung wie die Marienkirche in Bernau. Dazu gehören das imposante Retabel des Hauptaltars und einige weitere vorreformatorische Stücke. Vor allem aber wuchs sie vom 16. bis zum 18. Jahrhundert. Zu erwähnen sind hier die Taufe und die Kanzel, ein bedeutender Emporenbilderzyklus, verschiedene Gestühle und Beichtkammern sowie zahlreiche Memorialbilder und Fragmente eines Orgelprospektes von Hans Scherer. Diesem kirchen-, kultur- und stadtgeschichtlich interessanten Ensemble widmete sich im November 2015 eine interdisziplinäre Tagung unter Beteiligung von Bau- und Kunsthistorikern, Kirchen- und Liturgiegeschichtlern, Orgelexperten, Campanologen, Epigrafikern und Restauratoren. Der Band dokumentiert deren Ergebnisse und bietet in Form eines Kurzinventars einen vollständigen Überblick des Ausstattungsbestands.

The field of cultural-historical psychology originated in the work of Lev Vygotsky and the Vygotsky Circle in the Soviet Union more than eighty years ago, and has now established a powerful research tradition in Russia and the West. The Cambridge Handbook of Cultural-Historical Psychology is the first volume to systematically present cultural-historical psychology as an integrative/holistic developmental science of mind, brain, and culture. Its main focus is the inseparable unity of the historically evolving human mind, brain, and culture, and the ways to understand it. The contributors are major international experts in the field, and include authors of major works on Lev Vygotsky, direct collaborators and associates of Alexander Luria, and renowned neurologist Oliver Sacks. The Handbook will be of interest to students and scholars in the fields of psychology, education, humanities and neuroscience.
