[xmca] Re: Vygotskian framework to moral development and crisis at age 17

[Gregory Allan Thompson <gathomps@uchicago.edu>]

Ivo and Andy,
Also in the adolescence section of Mike's textbook is reference to William Damon. He has a wonderful 3-D graphic of the development of self-concept from infancy through adolescence.
His writings on moral development are quite good too. The major point that I always appreciate is that moral development should not be considered separately from development of self-concept (Andy, you might appreciate the way in which development of self-understanding and development of social understanding are caught up with each other - the development of an I that is We?).
Although I don't recall any explicit reference to Vygotsky, he draws on an Vygotsky's kin (according to some), the American pragmatists James Mark Baldwin and William James. 

Damon and Hart 1992. Self-understanding and its role in social and moral development. In Lamb, M. and Bornstein, M. (Eds.) Developmental Psychology: An advanced textbook. pp. 421-464.

Graphic is on p. 433.
I'm happy to share a copy directly but prefer not to distribute widely.
-greg
