Summary Of "The Transactional Self" By Jerome Bruner - UNIVERSITY SUMMARIES - E-book - ePub

We have summarized here the essential of this book by the author.??????THE TRANSACTIONAL SELFTRANSACTIONS: deals that are based on a set of common assumptions and beliefs about the world, the workings of the mind, the things we are capable of, and the way we communicate. We realize how easy it is to access, however vaguely, the other's mind and how easy it is for others to access our mind. But it is difficult to account for this access by means of concepts.
Contemporary theory of mind deals with this problem by experimenting with this ability to know others: how it develops in its various facets, or how it does not develop, in autistic and schizophrenic children.
