In Pursuit of Impact pushes researchers and policymakers to
reflect, rethink, and reconnect with their purpose to support the
greater good by developing meaningful public policies. Through a
multidisciplinary lens, Nadia Ferrara, draws on research, clinical,
and policy experience to show how we can engage in learning, and
building more effective relationships to better support the
development of responsive policies. Ferrara offers a refreshing
analysis while integrating a new approach to understanding trauma
and resilience that places a humanizing emphasis on the power of
narratives and storytelling. Revisiting the theories of pioneer
thinkers and showing the relevance of their work is the necessary
rethinking required to support the shift towards an
evidence-informed policy development process. Ferrara highlights
the fact that people, and their own lived realities, are defined by
trauma and resilience and are engaged in the development of public
policy and are affected by implemented policies. This book is
recommended for scholars and practitioners in the fields of
psychology, sociology, anthropology, political sciences, clinical
psychiatry, and philosophy.
Human Strengths and Resilience is intended to serve as a bridge
between these two rapidly expanding disciplines by focusing on the
critical issue of human strengths and resilience in cross-cultural
and international perspective. Â To achieve these ambitious
goals the editors have assembled an international group of leading
contributors who, taken together, have taught, counseled,
consulted, and conducted research in all regions of the world,
including North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, the Pacific Region,
Latin America, the Caribbean Region, and the Middle East. Chapters
focus on posttraumatic growth and resilience in such nations as
Cambodia, Haiti, India, Syria, Armenia, Sierra Leone, Taiwan,
Guatemala, and South Africa. Â
Psychosocial Experiences and Adjustment of Migrants: Coming to the
USA explores the emotional experiences of migrants seeking to come
to America, including psychological sequelae of such relocation
from one’s home country to another country. This book is divided
into three main parts. The first introduces the reader to the
foundational principles of migration. Next, the chapter authors
review individuals and families who come to the United States
through "orderly" migration, profiling the experiences of
immigrants from various countries and regions. The next set of
chapters discuss "forced" migration, examining the relative impact
of social and legal challenges and the psychological impact. The
book wraps up with research, advocacy and mental health and social
services options for migrants.

The Caribbean and Oceania are understudied areas from a
psychological perspective, and this book is designed to fill that
knowledge gap. In addition to diverse, rich cultural traditions and
abundant economic opportunity for some, these regions also reflect
the challenges of modernity, including crime, poverty, ethnic
tensions, adaptations to climate change, and disparities in health,
education, and access to care. With contributions from noted
psychologists in the Caribbean and Oceania, as well as experts from
around the globe, this book provides nuanced examination of
significant psychological issues in nations such as Fiji, Guyana,
Belize, Haiti, Jamaica, and more. Psychologists, psychiatrists, and
other mental health professionals with an interest in this part of
the world, will find this volume a rich resource, as will those
generally interested in the relationship between culture and
psychology. This book takes you on an outstanding journey of what
is occurring in cultural psychology in the 21st century. It
addresses the abundance of each nation through a transformational
lens of current practices in psychology in Oceania and the
Caribbean. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone interested in
sailing the high seas connecting the present with the endless
possibilities of those who dare to journey into the waters of a
divine future."- Florence Denmark, Past-President, American
Psychological Association "Chock full of expert knowledge and
insights, Psychology in Oceania and the Caribbean is an
indispensable resource for psychologists. A must-read that will
expand your understanding of life in these regions and beyond! "-
Pamela A. Hays, PhD, Author of Addressing Cultural Complexities in
Practice "This is a breath-taking book in its coverage of the
uniquely endowed psychology worlds of Oceania and the Caribbean.
Now that Dr. Rich, Dr. Ramkumar, and colleagues have produced this
awesome book volume on the cultural psychology of the rim water
nations, I have a palpable sense of relief from their having
addressed a huge gap in cultural psychology scholarship. This
volume opens hitherto undreamed of opportunities for further
studies on cultural practices in psychology in Oceania and the
Caribbean!"- Elias Mpofu, PhD, DE.D, CRC, MAPS, Professor of Health
Sciences at the University of North Texas, Honorary Professor of
Health Sciences at the University of Sydney and Executive Board
member of the Australian Psychological Society's Rehabilitation
Psychology Interest Group "This book represents a vital exploration
into the purpose and practice of Psychology in island nations. It
is a welcome compilation of academic writings from sociocultural
perspectives within Oceania and the Caribbean and serves as a
landmark account of the unique forces shaping the development and
evolution of Psychology in these states." - Gerard Hutchinson MD,
Professor of Psychiatry, University of the West Indies, St
Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago

How can psychology professors in the USA and other nations make
their courses more international?"" This question is addressed in
this indispensable new sourcebook, co?authored by 73 contributors
and editors from 21 countries. In recent decades psychology has
evolved from an American?dominated discipline to a much more global
discipline. Preliminary estimates by Zoma and Gielen (2015) suggest
that approximately 76%?78% of the world's one million or so
psychologists reside outside the U.S. However, most textbooks in
the field continue to rely predominantly on research conducted in
North America and Europe. Our book is intended to introduce
psychology instructors to a variety of broad perspectives as well
as specific suggestions that can support their efforts to
internationalize their course offerings at both the undergraduate
and graduate levels. In this way they can prepare their students to
become more culturally sensitive and function more effectively as
citizens and psychologists in the evolving globalized world. To
achieve these ambitious goals the editors have assembled an
international group of 73 distinguished contributors who, taken
together, have taught and conducted research in all regions of the
world. The chapters in the book include both core areas of
psychology and subdisciplines that represent rapidly expanding and
internationally important areas such as crosscultural psychology
and the psychology of gender. The chapters cover key topics and
areas included in the course offerings of psychology departments
both in the United States and in other countries. In addition to a
discussion of international perspectives relevant to a given area,
all chapters include an annotated bibliography of pertinent books,
articles, web?related materials, films, videos, and so on. Based on
this information, both highly experienced and less experienced
psychology instructors can add globally and culturally oriented
dimensions to their respective courses. This is important because
universities, departments, and accrediting agencies increasingly
put pressure on instructors to broaden and internationalize their
courses.
