A three-day conference in which scholars and psychologists from around the world will gather to discuss their work in the dialogical self.  The concept of the dialogical self, based on the work of Dutch psychologist Hubert Hermans, is a growing development in psychology that is closely related to narrative psychology, constructivism and cultural psychology, but the focus is on the multi-voiced self.  Exploration of the dialogical self has a broad scope, including areas as far-reaching as literary science, brain research, empirical psychology and psychotherapy practice.

Keynote speakers:

• Miguel Goncalves, professor of psychology at the University of Minho in Portugal;
• Hubert Hermans,  creator of the Dialogical Self Theory and one the main theorists in the fields of narrative psychology and narrative psychotherapy;
• Peter Raggatt, senior lecturer at James Cook University in Townsville, Australia;
• Jeffrey Arnett, research professor in psychology at Clarke University in Worcester, Mass.
