Previous leading commentators on the development of psychology in
the Third World have conceived of three major stages: an attempt to
assimilate Western psychology, with predictably negative results;
the study of indigenous constructs, with more relevant
applications; and, finally, transcending stage one and stage two to
choose theories and methods on their applied merit alone.
Psychology and the Developing World has been assembled to document
how close psychology has come to researching that stage.
Contributors were carefully selected to provide a unique overview
of the latest applications of the discipline as a whole. Their work
reveals how psychology is being applied to educational needs,
management needs, and health needs. This book shows how development
studies and allied disciplines cannot ignore psychology's potential
for the Third World.
