Roger Mucchielli - Introduction To Structural Psychology

INTRODUCTION TO STRUCTURAL PSYCHOLOGY offers for the first time a comprehensive and lucid account of today's most dynamic psychological theory. Beginning with Claude Levi-Strauss (the father of structuralist theory), many psychologists have charged that systems such as Freud's are too rigid, that they treat personality in parts instead of as a whole, that they depend on a mistaken belief in "objective" reality. Structural psychology, how- ever, is based on the interaction of the individual with his environment. Any attempt to determine an objective reality is futile, because in the act of perception each person interprets the world his own way.
