Boydstun Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Somebody forgot to include a table of contents in this book. The title Identity, Inner Life and Psychological Change states its major parts. The large typeset of the book, the naturalness of expression, the personal and social importance of its topic, the wholeness, richness, and balance, the informedness by clinical experience and scientific advances, including in brain science, all these conspire to seduce and grip and to expand the reader’s mind. Here is the missing table, loosely speaking, best I put it together quickly for such an organic work as this: Identity Thinking Temperament Personality Sexual Attitudes Feeling Values Interests Career Relationships Pleasures Personal Continuity Goals Creativity Time Alone Emotional Venting The Road to Identity Genetic and Biological Factors Physical Appearance Temperament Anxiety Depression Environment Social Layers Intra-Family Factors Free Will Contra Purely Free Will or Psychological Determinism The Meaning of Inner Life Inner Life Rejected Augmenting Inner Life Experience The Process of Psychological Change I got to open the book only this week. I have read only the Identity part of the book so far, which is why there is more detail for that in my table. That part sets up the background for the dynamics to follow. I had immediately ordered this work upon learning of it last fall because of the Inner Life part, which interest would be expected from the second paragraph of the S personal note above.
