Overview

This unique textbook eloquently introduces students to international perspectives on cross-cultural psychology (both Eastern and Western cultures) adopting a truly accessible narrative approach throughout. The main thrust of the book’s content is to discuss the framework of culture, family structure, health, bereavement, and intercultural interaction--and all of their intersections--and consideration is also given to methodological and ethical research issues and their application to differing cultures.

Editorial Reviews

CHOICE - J. Bailey
'Few psychology books capture the reader through their table of contents like this one. The book contrasts dominant ideas from Eastern and Western psychology and, in doing so, challanges one's own assumptions...perhaps the book's greatest strength is the holistic focus on life as a lived experience, which also makes it fun to read.' - The Psychologist'Even if the examples mainly describe the differences between the Indian and western ways of thinking they do help in understanding cultural differences in general…One can recommend Cross-cultural Psychology for people from many different fields. It is not just professionals of psychology or social psychology who need to understand these differences' Psykologia
