Basic Dimensions in Conscious Thought represents a major contribution, describing an empirically-validated method for analyzing the thematic content of narratives as a tool for comparative research in Anthropology, Cultural Psychology and Ethnopsychiatry. This first volume in the two volume series presents the Interpersonal Concerns Scoring System (ICSS), which is a comprehensive system of dimensions and categories for classifying thematic content found in narratives. The ICSS categories are discussed from both developmental-psychological and psychocultural perspectives. This is designed to facilitate the cross-cultural researcher or clinician's understanding of how normative or non-normative patterns of thematic concerns might be inferentially related to socialization processes (whether adaptive or pathogenic) that are found in particular sociocultural settings.
Dr. George Alphonse De Vos, is both a psychologist and anthropologist, trained at The University of Chicago. An Emeritus Professor of Anthropology, University of California at Berkeley, he is author of twenty books and 180 articles documenting his over 50 years of cross cultural research in the North and South America, Asia and Europe. Dr. Eric Steven De Vos received his doctorate from the Committee on Human Development at The University of Chicago. He is presently professor of Psychology at Saginaw Valley State University, in Michigan.
