with Post-Conference Workshop on Dialogical Self Approach in Coaching, Training, Counseling, and Education
The Seventh International Conference on the Dialogical Self takes place October 25-28, 2012 at the University of Georgia, in Athens, Georgia, USA.
The concept of the dialogical self, based on the work of psychologist Hubert Hermans and others, is a growing development in psychology that combines the concepts of theorists such as Bakhtin and James with the latest developments in cultural, cognitive and social psychology, as well as advancements in psychotherapy. This new approach is closely related to narrative psychology, constructivism, and cultural psychology, but the focus is on the multivoiced self. According to the concept of the dialogical self, the individual self is social in origin and dialogical in function. The self reflects and appropriates the voices of society and significant others, and within the functioning of the self we consider these voices in dialogue.
The purpose of the conference is to create a forum for dialogue across the boundaries of specific (sub)disciplines that explores the possibilities and challenges related to the dialogical self. As such, the Seventh International Conference on the Dialogical Self is open to psychologists and scholars of other social sciences and arts.

A Post-Conference Workshop on Dialogical Self Approach in Coaching, Training, Counseling, and Education will be held on Monday, October 29, 2012. Sponsored by the International Institute for the Dialogical Self and facilitated by Hubert Hermans, Agnieszka Hermans-Konopka, and Ton Voogt, the workshop, like the conference, will take place at the Georgia Center for Continuing Education in Athens, GA, USA.
