Creativity and Moral Vision in Psychology: Narratives on Identity and Commitment in a Postmodern Age

by Lisa L. Tsoi Hoshmand

What is the nature of knowledge and moral commitment in a postmodern age of relativism? What drives the creativity and dedication of leaders of a profession? How do professional lives reflect moral identity and development? To answer these questions, the author of this volume examines seven psychologists′ personal accounts of their moral and professional development. In doing so she develops and applies a conceptual framework that links knowledge interests and creativity in professional life to identify development and existential choices.
