Über den Autor

Carey DeMichelis is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Applied Psychology and Human Development at the University of Toronto. Her research focuses on the way adolescent patients make medical decisions- particularly in cases where the family's cultural or religious beliefs conflict with medical recommendations. Located at the intersection of biomedical ethics, developmental psychology, and medical anthropology, Carey's research explores the way adolescent autonomy intersects with medical authority, cultural identity and legal president in these complex cases. Carey is a student in the Collaborative Program at the Joint Centre for Bioethics. She is a graduate associate at the Centre for Ethics and at the Centre for Critical Qualitative Health Research at the University of Toronto. Carey earned her M.A. in 2011 from the University of Chicago where she studied comparative human development. Michel Ferrari, Ph.D., teaches developmental and educational psychology in the Department of Applied Psychology and Human Development at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), part of the University of Toronto. From 2004 to 2005, he was a visiting scholar at Harvard and at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science and in 2013 was a visiting scholar at the University of Potsdam. He is interested in personal identity and developing wisdom throughout the lifespan and has studied self-understanding of identity in people diagnosed with autism. Dr. Ferrari has coauthored and coedited books on wisdom, including, Teaching for Wisdom (with Georges Potworowski, Amsterdam: Springer, 2008), and The Science of Personal Wisdom (with Nic Weststrate, Springer, 2014).
