This psychology and culture book explores the subject in two parts: clinical psychology and culture, on the one hand, and society, culture and psychoanalysis, on the other. The first part involves cross-cultural clinical psychology, personality disorders in cross-cultural perspectives, and cross-cultural comparisons of suicide. The second part comprises chapters about cultural psychology of emotions, social justice from a cultural perspective, psychoanalytic anthropology, and cross-cultural symbols and dream interpretations. A stronger focus on clinical and psychoanalytical issues from a cross-cultural perspective is a point that is unique to this book. This book is for culture enthusiasts willing to explore the cultural diversity of the world, and for psychologists who aim to develop cross-cultural competence and understanding.
