Her Ph.D. was awarded by the University of Delhi, India, in 2006, on her research, which examined the concepts of Ethical Behaviour and Moral Judgement. In her current position, she teaches courses in counseling and recently, has found herself deeply interested in the concepts of self, narration and dialogue and their implications as well as potential applicability in counseling. She has presented and published some works on these concepts and her latest work is on ‘The Prospect of Realization of the Self from a Dialogical Self Perspective’. Carla Alexandra Castro Cunha is currently a student of the Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology at University of Minho (Braga, Portugal) with a Ph.D. scholarship from the Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology). She is also a teaching assistant at the Department of Psychology at ISMAI (Instituto Superior da Maia, Maia, Portugal) and a researcher at GEDI (Group of Studies in Dialogicality and Identity), Unidep, at ISMAI. Her current research interests are focused on identity and change processes follow- ing a narrative and dialogical approach, applied to the fields of psycho- therapy and human development. Isaac Cherian is a licensed counsellor, currently working as a student services officer for the Madinat Zayed Higher Colleges of Technology, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. He received a Masters in Applied Psychology in 1999 and has since then been interested in the construct of self and its varied dynamics. For the past three years, he has been involved in a personal project aimed at developing an integrative coun- selling strategy, synthesizing various traditions of self and focusing on personal growth and self awareness. His works to this end are largely inspired by his Indian heritage and extensive travel experiences. Miguel M. Gonçalves is Professor at School of Psychology, University of Minho, Portugal. He is also vice-president of the International Society of Dialogical Self and action editor of Psychotherapy Research. His main research interests centers in the narrative and dialogical processes in psychotherapy. He has developed the concept of innovative moment, ix 9780230_285798_01_prexii.indd ix 4/27/2011 5:54:59 PM x Contributors as events in psychotherapy in which novelties towards a previous prob- lematic pattern emerge. This concept has been inspiring his research projects from the past few years. Hubert J. M. Hermans is Emeritus Professor at the Radboud University in Nijmegen. His dissertation (1967) was on Motivation and Achievement and resulted in two psychological tests: The Achievement Motivation Test for adults (1968) and for children (1971). In 1973 he became Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Nijmegen and in 1980 full Professor at the same university. As a reaction to the static and imper- sonal nature of psychological tests, he developed a Self-Confrontation Method (SCM; 1974). Application of this method in practice led to the establishment of the Dutch Association for SCM Consultants. In the 1990s he developed a dialogical self theory. Together with Agnieszka Hermans-Konopka, he is the author of Dialogical Self Theory: Positioning and Counter-Positioning in a Globalizing Society (Cambridge University Press, 2010). Raya A. Jones is a Senior Lecturer in the Cardiff School of Social Sciences, Cardiff, UK. She teaches personality, social and develop- mental psychology, and developmental psychopathology. She is the author of Jung, Psychology, Postmodernity (Routledge, 2007) and The Child-School Interface (Cassell, 1995), editor of Body, Mind and Healing After Jung (Routledge, 2010), and co-editor of Education and Imagination (Routledge, 2008) and Cultures and Identities in Transition (Routledge 2010). She has published numerous journal articles and has been a member of the Executive Committee of the International Association for Jungian Studies. Masayoshi Morioka is a Professor in the Graduate School of Human Development and Environment, Kobe University, Japan. His main field of research is the narrative-based approach to psychotherapy and researching the common factors of therapeutic conversations. Another concern is the cultural-historical approach to human character forma- tion and the mind–body problem, both in the East and West. He has published his research in a number of papers and books, including Monogatari Tositeno Mensetu: Jiko no Henyo to Mimesis [Clinical interview as narrative: Mimesis and transformation of the self] (Shinyosya, 2002); Utushi: Rinsyo no Shigaku [Transition and reflection: Toward clinical poetics] (Misuzusyobo, 2005) and ‘Voices of the self in the therapeu- tic chronotope: Utushi Ma’ (International Journal for Dialogical Science 3, 93–108, 2008).
