Review
“This edited volume contains 19 chapters marvelously rich in historic scope, explicative review, systematic analysis and criticism, and, finally, exciting forcasts of what to expect of the often poorly defined field of psychological anthropology.....What impressed me the most about this volume is the matter in which the authors respectfully "objectify" their topics, encircling them for the reader with each of their key principles, methods, and findings....I highly recommend this book. It is both eye-opening and cautious, giving both universalist depictions of nature and humanistic depictions of nurture very close readings from a variety of perspectives, focused on key areas of human functioning.”–
