商品簡介
A collection of 24 contributions by prominent researchers on current theoretical views and research on the self in infancy, prior to self-identification and the well-documented emergence of mirror self-recognition. The first section of the book is primarily theoretical, presenting a variety of current frameworks and conceptualizations of the self in infancy, including such topics as early objectification of the self, relational narratives of the prelinguistic self, a theory of the role of imitation in the emergence of self, and the self as reference point. The second part focuses more on research, reviewing experimental facts pertaining to the self in infancy as revealed in posture and action, the perceptual and social origins of the self in infancy.
