ABSTRACT
Yet, even though I call myself a developmental psychologist and that is what I am considered by others, I feel less comfortable in the more contemporary tradition of psychology. I love psychology as the exploration and creation of ideas about human life and human development. I love listening to people talk about how they understand their development, their relationships, and their beliefs, and integrating what they tell me into my own ideas about who we are and how we develop. I especially love learning about the ways of people in cultures other than my own, and the challenge of trying to see life from their perspective.
