This highly innovative book has become a classic training manual for psychologists and psychotherapists, offering a wide-ranging look at the development of the Self, thanks partly to tools borrowed from the world of quantum physics. Taking as a starting point the numerous historical theories concerning the nature of Self proposed by psychology, it then progresses to the new horizons offered by systemic theory, chaos theory and cognitive-behavioral therapy.
The book is aimed particularly at students and professionals operating in the social sciences, who are interested in learning about the valuable intellectual contribution offered by language and by the latest concepts in physics to shed new light, even in the field of psychology and human relationships.
