Miała ona miejsce we wrześniu 2004 roku w Bydgoszczy i Mogilnie - miejscu urodzenia Kurta Lewina, jednego z kluczowych teoretyków psychologii XX wieku.
The authors of the works contained in this book present their thoughts on the life of Kurt Lewin and his contributions to contemporary psychology. The research examined and the reflections on the subject matter have many important implications concerning the history of the social sciences and the present state of psychology. The work has notable practical consequences for social policy within the fields of education and health, as well as for the resolution of intergroup problems. Remarkably enough, The Field Theory of Kurt Lewin and its concepts, approaches and research methods have found, or may still find a wide and interesting application in current psychological research and social practise.
