Until recently the field of psychology has been a monocultural
science in a Euro-American envelope. Profound global changes in
social, economic, political, and academic development have resulted
in a more multicultural perspective for psychology. The field of
psychology is now growing more rapidly outside than inside the U.S.
As a result of these changes, multiculturalism adds a dimension to
psychodynamic, humanistic, and behavioral psychology as much as the
fourth dimension of time adds meaning to three dimensional spaces.
The contributors to Multiculturalism as a Fourth Force seek to
separate what we know from what we do not yet know about the
importance of multiculturalism to these changes in the field of
psychology. Topics include cultural diversity within and between
societies, multiculturalism and psychotherapy, and culture centered
interventions. Each contributor describes the need for
multiculturalism in psychology, the difficulties in establishing a
multicultural perspective and what has to happen before
multiculturalism can claim to be a "Fourth Force" to supplement the
other forces for psychology. In addition, the contributors examine
the role of culture to the changing field of psychology and provide
case examples of this phenomenon. It is the author's hope that by
making culture central rather than marginal in the area of
psychology, the psychodynamic, behavioral and humanistic theories
can become more effective and less culturally biased.
