The field of psychological anthropology has changed a great deal
since the 1940s and 1950s, when it was often known as 'Culture and
Personality Studies'. Rooted in psychoanalytic psychology, its
early practitioners sought to extend that psychology through the
study of cross-cultural variation in personality and child-rearing
practices. Psychological anthropology has since developed in a
number of new directions. Tensions between individual experience
and collective meanings remain as central to the field as they were
fifty years ago, but, alongside fresh versions of the
psychoanalytic approach, other approaches to the study of
cognition, emotion, the body, and the very nature of subjectivity
have been introduced. And in the place of an earlier tendency to
treat a 'culture' as an undifferentiated whole, psychological
anthropology now recognizes the complex internal structure of
cultures. The contributors to this state-of-the-art collection are
all leading figures in contemporary psychological anthropology, and
they write abour recent developments in the field. Sections of the
book discuss cognition, developmental psychology, biology,
psychiatry, and psychoanalysis, areas that have always been
integral to psychological anthropology but which are now being
transformed by new perspectives on the body, meaning, agency and
communicative practice.
