The Process Approach to Personality

More about the book

The book delves into perceptgenesis, focusing on the subjective phases involved in perceiving objects. Professor Gudmund Smith and his colleagues challenge conventional psychology by documenting how feelings, meanings, and recognition are integral to perception rather than mere reactions to external stimuli. They employ innovative methods to explore this hidden aspect of perception, arguing that the process is pre-perceptual. This radical perspective questions the objectivity and realism typically upheld in psychological science, prompting readers to reconsider the nature of perception itself.
