SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT

This volume proposes a theoretical integration of several major streams in contemporary psychological theory about adult development and therapy. The neopiagetian model of development on which the current ap- proach is based proposes that the last stage in development concerns collective intelligence, or postmodern, postformal thought.
