{"product_id":"the-self-in-infancy","title":"The Self in Infancy","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":"North-Holland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50010179174650,"sku":"9780444819253","price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/1253\/1962\/files\/imageloader_ab63dd8b-e768-46a4-9331-c4afb7d3a82d.jpg?v=1786130775","url":"https:\/\/mindsourcebooks.com\/products\/the-self-in-infancy","provider":"Mind Source Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
