"Toward a Global Psychology" defines the emerging field of
international psychology. It provides an overview of the conceptual
models, research methodologies, interventions, and pedagogical
approaches that are most appropriate to transnational settings. In
so doing, the book provides readers with a rich appreciation of how
to approach a global psychology as researchers, practitioners, and
students. The book's thorough review of the existing literature on
international psychology from around the world provides the
knowledge needed to successfully engage in the science and practice
of psychology in an increasingly globalized society.
Arranged into four parts, the book discusses topics including:
*the specialty of international psychology;
*global perspectives on the history of psychology, current trends
in psychology worldwide, problems and issues confronting
psychologists in non-Western and developing regions, and the
movement toward indigenizing psychology;
*guidelines for those involved in scientific and professional
psychology around the world;
*descriptions of therapeutic and macro-level interventions
conducted in non-Western settings; and
*predictions about the future of international psychology.
Case examples are integrated throughout to further highlight key
concerns and challenges faced by global psychologists. Each chapter
also includes a list of suggested readings.
"Toward a Global Psychology" is ideal for both researchers and
students interested in a global psychology and for advanced courses
on international or cross-cultural psychology. The book's appendix
features a sample syllabus for a course on global psychology.
