{"product_id":"9780080542638","title":"The Self in Infancy: Theory and Research","description":"The origins of knowledge about the self is arguably the most fundamental problem of psychology. It is a classic theme that has preoccupied great psychologists, beginning with William James and Freud. On reading current literature, today's developmental psychologists and ethologists are clearly expressing a renewed interest in the topic. Furthermore, recent progress in the study of infant and animal behavior, provides important and genuinely new insights regarding the origins of self-knowledge.\u003cp\u003eThis book is a collection of current theoretical views and research on the self in early infancy, prior to self-identification and the well-documented emergence of mirror self-recognition. The focus is on the early sense of self of the young infant. Its aim is to provide an account of recent research substantiating the precursors of self-recognition and self-identification. By concentrating on early infancy, the book provides an updated look at the origins of self-knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47148448284912,"sku":"9780080542638","price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780080542638_p0.jpg?v=1763637812","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780080542638","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
