Intersubjective Minds: Rhythm, Sympathy, and Human Being

This collection of papers from world leaders in developmental psychology, neuroscience, music, education and psychiatry consolidates the lifetime work of Emeritus Professor Colwyn Trevarthen, FRSE. Spanning research from the 1960s to the present, Trevarthen’s contributions to science have changed our understanding of infancy, neuroscience, education and musicality. The present collection of papers from these diverse fields describes current issues, principles and perspectives for working practice on the role of intersubjectivity in early human life, its contribution to health and learning, and therefore its role in scientific understanding of the fundamentals of the human mind. By bringing together scholars, scientists, medical and educational practitioners, this book serves as a landmark for the field of intersubjectivity and celebrates Trevarthen’s 93rd birthday.
