The contributors to this state-of-the-art collection are prominent figures in psychological anthropology, and they write about recent developments in this field. Rooted in psychoanalytic psychology, the early practitioners in the forties and fifties concentrated on studying cross-cultural variation in child rearing practices. While tensions between individual experience and collective meanings are still central to psychological anthropology, alongside fresh versions of the psychoanalytic approaches, other approaches to the study of cognition, emotion, and ethnopsychology have been introduced. Psychological anthropology's present scope includes the psychology of cognition and affect, to which it has made substantial contributions.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great collection,
This review is from: New Directions in Psychological Anthropology (Publications of the Society for Psychological Anthropology) (Paperback)
This collection of essays is quite helpful in summarizing the thinking of those whose research in the social science can be applied to psychiatry. Academic psychologists would also find the material worth reading. Byron Good has a good piece covering the changes in research patterns with the change in DSM. Overall it is enjoyable.
