Abstract
When Wolff-Michael Roth sent me the first proposal of this book Transactional Psychology of Education. Toward a strong version of the social I was positively surprised. Little time had passed since he had published his previous volume in my series, titled Understanding Educational Psychology (Roth & Jornet, 2016). He was again ready with another interesting editorial project. The book “smelled” good even before reading it. In fact, after reading few lines of the proposal, I was fully convinced of the relevance of Roth’s line of argumentation. There was something intriguing. Hereafter, the book went through all the long procedures of double-blind review, which allows this book series to be indexed in Scopus. Roth received many good feedbacks and some criticisms that helped him to develop his ideas even further. The volume, eventually ready, kept the initial promise and offers the reader a refined synthesis of theoretical and empirical aspects of inquiry into education. Transactional Psychology of Education indeed combines the historical roots with the contemporary educational practice.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
