The Postconventional Personality

Reviews / Votes

"This is an excellent resource for those interested in psychometrics collections and in transpersonal/humanistic psychology and life-span development ... A solid companion to other titles in the 'SUNY Series in Transpersonal and Humanistic Psychology.'" - CHOICE

"[This is a convention-breaking book that makes a much-needed contribution to the field. Its varied scholarly chapters explore the far reaches of human growth and potential-including the oft-neglected dimension of personality development. Chapters are written by veteran researchers and exemplars in adult development studies. Included are wonderfully creative theoretical explorations on personality development as well as original contributions that push the envelope of spiritual and religious development to unprecedented lengths. ]The Postconventional Personality is an exceptional compilation reflecting years of research on postformal and postconventional development. As the culmination of such research, it should, in turn, challenge all developmentalists to do more, to be bolder, to take risks. This volume will exhort academicians and researchers alike to think more creatively about the limitless possibilities for human development at the postconventional level and beyond." - Melvin E. Miller, coeditor of Self and No-Self: Continuing the Dialogue between Buddhism and Psychotherapy

"This book is the best place to go for current views on late-stage ego-development theory, practice, and measurement. It clarifies the promise and importance of these methods and models that stem from Loevinger (and H. S. Sullivan), but also explores the limitations and blind spots inherent in these methods. This is an excellent contribution to scholarly literature about the further reaches of human potential." - Zachary Stein, Developmental Testing Service
