Autorenporträt
Jaan Valsiner, born in Tallinn, Estonia, is a cultural psychologist with a consistently developmental axiomatic base that is brought to analyses of any psychological or social phenomena. He is the founding editor (1995) of the Sage journal, Culture & Psychology (since 1995) and Editor-In-Chief, Integrative Psychological & Behavioral Science (Springer, since 2007). After working for over three decades in USA at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Clark University, he accepted in 2013 the position of Niels Bohr Professor of Cultural Psychology at Aalborg University, Denmark, in collaboration with University of Luxembourg and Sigmund Freud Privatuniversität Wien in Austria and in Berlin. He focuses on theoretical innovation, with monographs The Guided Mind (Cambridge, Ma.: Harvard University Press, 1998), Culture in Minds and Societies (New Delhi: Sage, 2007), Ornamented Lives (Charlotte, NC: Information Age Publishers, 2018) and Sensuality in Human Living (Springer, 2020). He has recently published a major theoretical treatise General Human Psychology (Springer, 2021) that would synthesize William Stern's personology with his Cultural Psychology of Semiotic Dynamics. Jaan Valsiner has been awarded major research prizes in Europe: the Alexander von Humboldt Prize of 1995 in Germany, and the Hans-Kilian-Preis of 2017. As part of his credo for building psychology on an international and trans-cultural basis, he has been a visiting professor in Brazil, Japan, Australia, Estonia, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. Since 2017 he is a Foreign Member of the Estonian Academy of Sciences.
Rezensionen
"Valsiner's proposal for a new general psychology which grounds its foundation in semiotics and develops within an epistemological dynamic, integrational and dialogue-based framework is intriguing and challenging. Aspiring to move within fragmentations and towards such a theoretical synthesis, along with the adoption of a methodology allowing the creation of adequate methods and a research evaluation process, could represent the evolutionary change that has not been observed in psychology for too long." (Raffaele Modugno, Human Arenas, Vol. 5 (4), 2022)
