This volume argues for the development of a macro perspective
within psychology that more effectively incorporates social
structures, systems, policies, and institutions. The book
emphasizes how social structures and systems can ultimately
promote, or erode, psychological wellbeing. Macropsychology is
concerned with "understanding up," or how we can influence the
settings and conditions of the society in which we live. Psychology
has traditionally been more interested in "understanding down,"
that is, with the behaviour of individuals and groups; in
inter-psychic and intra-psychic and in neurological and biological
processes. This volume argues that psychology can more effectively
contribute at the macro or societa level, by addressing grand
challenges and global goals, using big data, and intervening at the
population level.Bringing together social, organizational,
cultural, and health psychology research, the book demonstrates a
broad range of areas benefitting from a macropsychology
perspective, particularly areas integral to the realization of the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Contributors address the
value of macropsychological perspectives in addressing sub-topics
such as: Mental health Personality traits and social structure
Disability rights Food systems Humanitarian work psychology
Macropsychology: A Population Science for Sustainable Development
Goals aims to recognise and give impetus to a neglected perspective
within psychology, and to inspire a paradigm-widening within the
field of psychology, facilitating greater involvement with social
justice and human rights.
One of the greatest challenges facing modern global health is
how to include the most marginalized and impoverished people in
international efforts to promote social and economic development.
In Disability and International Development disability rights are
situated within the broader context of global health and the need
for much greater inter-sector collaboration. Reports from a broad
cross-section of low- and middle-income countries-locales as
diverse as Zimbabwe, Bolivia, Kyrgyzstan, and Papua New Guinea-move
beyond surface discussions of "what is working" and "what shows
promise" to discuss political and governance contexts, the roles of
disabled persons in research by outsiders, concurrent struggles
(e.g., women's or children's rights), and instructive inroads made
by community activists and national Disabled People's
Organizations. The results are provocative, and offer new lenses
for viewing both the issues and the populations they affect.
Each of the book's chapters spotlights a topic as representative
of the enormity and immediacy of challenges to inclusive global
health, including:
- The impact of international human rights law on domestic law
and local traditions.
- The effect of failed states on the lives of people with
disabilities.
- Empowerment and advocacy: disability organizations and
movements.
- HIV/AIDS interventions with disabled persons.
- Assistive technologies in low-income countries.
- Strategies for improving the lives of children with
disabilities.
Cross-disciplinary as well as cross-cultural, Disability and
International Development will attract a wide audience of
professionals in rehabilitation, social welfare and human rights;
governmental and non-governmental organizations and disabled
people's organizations; researchers and practitioners. It will also
be relevant to those working in health and welfare administration,
health policy, international aid and development, and human rights.
In addition, graduate students in disability studies, public and
global health and international development should find this an
important guide to the future of these fields.

"The Aid Triangle" focuses on the human dynamics of international
aid and illustrates how the aid system incorporates power
relationships, and therefore relationships of dominance. Using the
concept of a triangle of dominance, injustice and identity this
timely work explains how the experience of injustice is both a
challenge to, and a stimulus to, personal, community and national
identity, and how such identities underlie the human potential that
international aid should seek to enrich. This insightful new
critique provides for the reader an innovative and constructive
framework for producing more empowering and more effective aid.
