This book critiques our reliance on Eurocentric knowledge in the
education and training of psychology and psychiatry. Chapters
explore the diversity of 'constructions of the self' in non-Western
cultures, examining traditional psychologies from Africa, Asia,
Australasia, and Pre-Columbian America. The authors discuss
liberation psychologies and contemporary movements in healing and
psychological therapy that draw on both Western and non-Western
sources of knowledge. A central theme confronted is the importance,
in a rapidly shrinking world, for knowledge systems derived from
diverse cultures to be explored and disseminated equally. The
authors contend that for this to happen, academia as a whole must
lead in promoting cross-national and cross-cultural understanding
that is free of colonial misconceptions and prejudices. This unique
collection will be of value to all levels of study and practice
across psychology and psychiatry and to anyone interested in
looking beyond Western definitions and understandings.
