''Inventing our selves: Psychology, power, and personhood.'' Cambridge University Press, 1998.〕〔Pedersen, Paul. ''A handbook for developing multicultural awareness''. American Counseling Association, 2000.〕 == Life and work == Kempen was born in Nieuwenhagen, in southeastern Limburg, Netherlands. After his graduation he started his academic career as researcher at the Psychological Laboratory of the Radboud University Nijmegen in the 1960s.〔''Register van lopend onderzoek in de sociale wetenschappen, 1967-1968''. (1968) p.118〕 Kempen's early research had focussed on "The strategy of peace in sociological perspective",〔''International Peace Research Newsletter''. Vol. 1-4 (1963). p. 16〕 and he published another article about "Psychology and the problems of war prevention and peacebuilding".〔H. J. G. Kempen 'Psychologie en de problemen van oorlogspreventie en vredesopbouw' in ''Annalen van het Thijm- genootschap'' 1966 (54)〕 In 1972 he edited his first publication with Vimala Thakar〔Vimala Thakar, H.J.G. Kempen, F.G. Middelman, J.M. van Kerkoerle ''Toespraken in de Nijmeegse Universiteit II: toespraken gehouden op 9 en 10 november 1972 in het Psychologisch Laboratorium van de Universiteit te Nijmegen''. Stichting Vimala Thakar, 1975〕 In the 1972 unpublished article, entitled "From the cabinet of exotic comportment to a general theory of behavior", he gave a sketch of his "cultural psychology, that was critical of psychology itself, but at the same time stimulating all of us to look beyond culture."〔 In the 1970s Kempen also joined the Department of Culture and Religion Psychology, where he lectured in Cultural psychology until the late-1990s. Among his students were Jürgen Straub, German Professor of intercultural communication,;〔Jürgen Straub (2006) ''Pursuit Of Meaning: : Advances In Cultural And Cross Cultural Psychology''. p. 132〕 Hub Zwart, Professor of Philosophy at the Radboud University Nijmegen;〔"(Prof. Dr. Hub (H.A.E.) Zwart – Curriculum Vitae )" at ''filosofie.science.ru.nl,'' 2013. Accessed 19.05.2015.〕 and Theo Verheggen (PhD 2005).〔Verheggen, Theo. Culture Alt Delete: On the Misperception of Culture in Psychology. Open Universiteit Nederland, 2005.〕 In the 1980s Kempen conducted more general research in health behaviour in the Netherlands,〔H.J.G. Kempen, S. van der Linden (1981). ''Gezondheidsgedrag in een Nederlandse quota-steekproef''. Nijmegen : Katholieke Universiteit〕 which resulted in the 1993 book about "Western standards in mental health."〔F.A.M. Kortmann, H.J.G. Kempen & H. Procee (1993) ''Westerse normen in de geestelijke gezondheidszorg''. Baarn : Ambo〕 He also wrote some biographical articles for the "Biographical Dictionary of Netherlands",〔Schöffer, Ivo. Biografisch woordenboek van Nederland. Vol. 2. Nijhoff, 1979.〕 and a publication about "The Nijmegen cultural psychology."〔Kempen, H., Paul Voestermans & V.J. Welten. ''De Nijmeegse cultuurpsychologie''. Psychologisch Laboratorium, Universiteit Nijmegen, 1991.〕 In the 1990s Kempen and Hubert Hermans developed a new approach in cultural psychology around the concept of the dialogical self.〔Ralph L. Piedmont, Andrew Village (2009) ''Research in the Social Scientific Study of Religion''. Vol. 20. p. 117〕 In 1993 they published the seminal work ''The dialogical self: Meaning as movement'', and published several articles in ''American Psychologist'', ''Journal of Personality'' and ''Theory & Psychology''. Despite their success Kempen suffered from depression. In 2000 he died in Nijmegen four days before his retirement from the Radboud University. At the university he is remembered by as the "personification of cultural psychology."〔(Harry Kempen ) Genootschap van Cultuur- en Godsdienstpsychologen, Krant Maart 2002〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harry Kempen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
