Overview

The fields of education and psychology have attracted an increasing volume of attention in recent years. The profile of psychology and psychologists has risen in societies which are eager to understand the nature of human well-being and the conditions which can promote it. Education, for its part, has become a central element of social and economic policy across the globe, in line with changes in the technological basis of the economy, and in society and the family. This book takes an in-depth look at how education and psychology have related to each other, and at the current state of this relationship. Through comprehensive analysis of the ideological, historical, social and professional contexts of this interaction, the author develops the theme that, despite basic differences in aims, the fields are interconnected. Indeed, neither can realise its aims without recognising this inter-dependence. Education and Psychology in Interaction is therefore a text of fundamental importance for teachers, educationalists and psychologists, with vital implications for both theory and practice.
