Book Synopsis
In this ambitious book, Jaan Valsiner argues for a theoretical integration of two long-standing approaches to personality theory: the individualistic tradition of personalistic psychology, typified by the work of William Stern and Gordon Allport, and the semiotic tradition of cultural-historical psychology, typified by the work of L. S. Vygotsky.

Trade Review
Lovers of Vygotsky, Lewin, G. Allport, Stern, and Bakhtin rejoice: The Guided Mind relies on the perspectives of these (and other) theoreticians to provide a provocative account of how personality may be organized. -- D. S. Dunn * Choice *
