Commonalities in Boesch and Murray: Bridging between a European and an American Thinker

University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands

Six commonalities in the work of Ernst Boesch and Henry Murray are outlined: a holistic approach to the study of personality; a systematic elaboration of the person-situation interaction; an incorporation of psychoanalytic elements into their theoretical thinking; an emphasis on the cultural foundations of personality; and an intense affinity with novelistic literature. The main part of this article is devoted to the sixth commonality: Boesch's and Murray's ideas on the multiplicity and multivoicedness of the self.
