The Caribbean is a vast region where members of diverse ethnic
groups speak many different languages and have ancestral ties to
various continents. This cultural diversity results in an array of
unique psychological needs. However, these groups all share a
common history of colonialism, slavery, and indentured servitude
that continues to impact them to this day. Thus, researchers,
practitioners, and organizations must collaborate to create a
unified Caribbean psychology that meets both the shared and
disparate needs of those who live in the region and in the
diaspora. This book brings together scholars from diverse fields,
many of whom come from Caribbean backgrounds.Divided into five
sections, the book begins with an overview of psychology in the
Caribbean, arguing that psychology is biased towards the
Euro-American perspective. Thus, it examines the conceptual bases
for an indigenous approach to Caribbean psychology as part of a
more globalized discipline. Each subsequent section focuses on a
particular field of study: Developmental psychology Health and
community psychology Social psychology Clinical psychology Chapters
within these sections cover a range of topics that will benefit not
only researchers and practitioners who focus on Caribbean-specific
issues, but also those who seek a more international approach to
psychology.
