Summary

In this talk, I would like to offer a retrospective summary of my intellectual journey within the wide and fragmented fields of Psychology and their relations with other disciplines as both an academic and practitioner and what might be described as a socially engaged intellectual. I deliberately adopted an insider/outsider position in-between both the 鈥渇amiliar and unfamiliar worlds鈥 since my very beginnings in the discipline, and have formed Transformational Psychology as a conceptual matrix to find (my own) way in social practice, it would be my priority and sincere pleasure to take this opportunity to entertain any possible reflections from the audience interactively.
