A wonderful book that integrates George Herbert Mead's symbolic interactionism with neo Freudian psychoanalytic conceptions of the personality. Unlike other textbooks on social psychology this book provides and integrative view of the interactional development of the person as they participate in cultural processes making up society. The author demonstrates that human beings are thoroughly social beings whose sense of self develops in interaction with significant others.
The author writes in a highly accessible style and the book is a pleasure to read.
