The Brecht Forum presents Dialectics in Psychology a talk by Eli Messinger Thursday, November 21 at 7:30 pm Child psychologist Eli Messinger will contrast dialectical thinking about psychological issues with conventional linear thinking. Dialectics highlights relational processes, change that goes beyond incremental steps, critical moments, the dynamics of development, and the emergence of the truly new. Messinger will draw on the work of Lev Vygotsky, Klaus Riegel, and Erik Erikson as well as his own practice to illustrate how a dialectical thinking applies to psychology. In fact, many of you use a dialectically-oriented psychology without being aware of it. Eli Messinger practices child psychiatry in a New York City hospital and directs a day hospital program. He teaches on the relevance of Marxist method to science. Admission is $6.
