This book presents a theoretical framework developed to support
psychologists working with indigenous people and interethnic
communities. Departing from the cultural shock experienced as a
psychologist working with indigenous people in Brazil, Dr. Danilo
Silva Guimaraes identifies the limits of traditional psychological
knowledge to deal with populations who don't share the same ethos
of the European societies who gave birth to psychology as a modern
science and proposes a new approach to go beyond the
epistemological project that aimed to construct a subject able to
represent the world free from any cultural mediation. According to
the author, the purpose of cultural psychology is to produce
general psychological theories about the cultural mediation of the
self, others and world relationships. Based on this assumption, he
argues that to achieve this aim, cultural psychology needs to
understand how indigenous perspectives participate in the process
of knowledge construction, transforming psychological conceptions
and practices. In this volume, the author presents his own
contribution to open cultural psychology to indigenous perspectives
by discussing the theoretical and practical implications of the
notion of dialogical multiplication for the construction of work in
co-authorship in the relation between psychology and indigenous
peoples. With the growing migrations around the world, competences
in psychological communication across cultures are more demanded
each day, which makes Dialogical Multiplication - Principles for an
Indigenous Psychology a critical resource for psychologists working
with interethnic and intercultural communities around the world.
