Serge Moscovici
The truth is, I really don’t admire any psychologist yet, but I’m interested in Serge Moscovici's work (1925), a French social psychologist, currently Director of European Social Psychology Laboratory , which he co-founded in 1975 at the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme in Paris, France. Also, he is a member of the European Academy of Arts and Sciences and Officer of the Légion d'honneur, member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Honorary Member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
Moscovici is well-known by his Theory of Social Representations, and Active minorities. His main work is about social attitudes, stereotypes, and how people takes the reality and makes representations of that.
Moscovici takes elements from different disciplines and theories, like Social-cognitive theory, and Sociology, with Symbolic interaction, for example.
In his works, we can find titles like Social influence and social change,1976;Psychologie des minorités actives, University Presses of France, 1979; De la Nature. Pour penser l'écologie, Métailié, 2002, and others.
I like this psychologist, because he links personal and social life, something than not much psychologists do. I think is very important to know his work, because we can’t think that Psychology is about one person, is about a person who lives in a society, and we have to know its characteristics, to know better our patients.
