Editorial Review:

There are aspects of psychology which originate in, are formed by, and reflect social processes and factors outside the individual mind. This cultural analysis of psychology is twofold: it is a scientifically correct way to a deeper understanding of psychology and it can provide crucial insights for initiating and guiding the struggle to improve human life.

This view of cultural psychology was originally developed by the Russian psychologist Vygotsky and his colleagues Luria and Leontiev. Cultural Psychology aims to build on their approach by providing:

• qualitative methods such as interview techniques and content analysis as empirical tools for exploring the cultural aspects of psychology; and
• specific guidelines for formulating, conducting, and analyzing interviews on cultural aspects of psychology.

Editorial Review:

Psychology that reflects our diverse cultures and backgrounds! This concise, unique book challenges many of the "truths" presented in mainstream, introductory treatments of psychology. Matsumoto, extracting some of the most important and compelling findings in the cross-cultural literature, goes beyond the ordinary to reveal how culture has an impact on society, behavior, and expression. His review of the cross-cultural research literature in nine popular areas of psychology (perception, cognition, developmental psychology, language and language acquisition, cognitive development and intelligence, emotion, abnormal psychology, social psychology, and the self) provides readers with a more detailed discussion of the issues than is usually possible in other introductory books, keeping the material from becoming superficial or tokenistic. Readers are exposed to psychology from around the world and are provided options from which they can choose the perspective on psychology and human behavior that is right for them.

Editorial Review:

The contributors to this volume, both practising anthropologists and psychoanalysts, explore in detail the interface between the two disciplines and locate this within the history of both. In particular, they deal with the distinctive reactions of British, French and American anthropology to psychoanalysis, and the way in which the present fracturing of each of these national traditions and their post-modern turn, has led to willingness to investigate the relationships between the disciplines and the role of the unconscious in cultural life. The contributors also address important issues of methodology, and present a critical discussion of the concept of culture and the academic specialization of knowledge.

Editorial Review:

Cross-cultural contacts are now commonplace. In schools, neighborhoods, and businesses cultural diversity is now the rule, not the exception. And, as this contact increases, it raises several important--and fundamental--questions. How valid are our self-perceptions in relation to other cultures? How receptive are we to the viewpoints of other cultures? Indeed, are differences necessarily detriments? In Applied Cross-Cultural Psychology, a distinguished international team of experts examines the many facets of the cross-cultural experience, including cross-cultural testing and assessment, the psychological effects of acculturation, the role of foreign students, industrial and organizational psychology, acculturation and emotional and physical health, and cross-cultural orientation programs. Specific methodologies and how they may be applied in different areas, the emphasis on basics rather than complex theoretical issues, and the development of current knowledge and review of concepts make this innovative book appealing to professors, undergraduate students, and practitioners alike. A must read for anyone with interests in cross-cultural comparative studies, psychology, social psychology, counseling, social work, organization studies, and sociology. "The coverage of topics in this book, in terms of breadth as well as depth, is quite impressive. In the introductory chapter, the editor, Richard Brislin, does an excellent job of drawing together the rather diverse chapters of the volume. In fact, his chapter could easily serve as a very up-to-date summary of the social-personality-clinical components of cross-cultural psychology . . . Overall, this volume represents an important early effort to outline the potential contributions of a cross-cultural orientation to the resolution of social problems. Indeed, there are remarkably few areas in "mainstream" applied psychology that are not covered in this book . . . the volume is very successful. the authors are to be commended for providing a broad look into terribly important and interesting issues in a manner that is palatable to specialist and generalist alike." --Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology "For everybody who wants to become (more) familiar with the cross-cultural psychological approach to diversity, this book will be very useful." --International Association for Intercultural Education "An extraordinarily coherent and well-edited volume of chapters that spans a very wide range of theoretical and applied models of psychology. . . . There is a chapter on cross-cultural psychology and the programmes: on international students; on family and home-based interventions; on acculturation; on the environment, culture and behaviour; and more besides. If these topics whet your appetite, then this is the volume for you." --Behaviour Research Therapy

0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Henderson and White earnestly foster students and professors with this landmark text. Building Multicultural Competency is remarkably significant for mental health professionals; moreover, each and everyone invested in this world where relating hinges on communication and on an understanding of one another must read this book. Absolutely any person, any professional interested in multicultural competency can benefit from reading one and all chapters. Prepare to enter into an ongoing process of growth, accountability, and change.
Nancy Edenfield, M.A. Counseling Psychology

Editorial Review:

Researchers have discovered that the mental health workforce lacks adequate training and sufficient number of staff to meet the needs of a growing multicultural population. Promising Practices in Multicultural Competency Training addresses this problem, and provides a workable solution relevant to today. Using a Multiracial/Multiethnic/Multicultural Competency Building model, individuals who are dedicated to the study of psychology will learn how to provide mental health services, education, and training to the growing multicultural population.

Must read for anyone interested in psychoanalysis and Hinduism/India 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Dr Alan Roland has done an excellent job critiquing other psychoanalysts such as Sudhir Kakar and Ganantha Obeyesekere. His fundamental argument is that psychoanalysis must be completely transformed in its approach towards India and Hinduism because Indian culture is radically different from Western culture on which Freud based his theories.

Editorial Review:

Cultural Pluralism and Psychoanalysis explores the creative dialogue that the major psychoanalysts since Freud have had with the modern Northern European/North American culture of individualism and tries to resolve major problems that occur when psychoanalysis, with its cultural legacy of individualism, is applied to those from various Asian cultures. Roland examines the theoretical issues involved in developing a multicultural psychoanalysis, and then looks at the interface between Asian-Americans and other Americans, discussing the frequent dissonances, miscommunications, and misunderstandings that result from each coming from vastly different cultural and psychological realms.
