Abstract:
The culmination of 15 years of research by a Turkish psychologist who was educated in the West, this volume examines both the theoretical and practical aspects of cross-cultural psychology. It takes a contextual-developmental-functional approach linking the child, family, and society as they are embedded in culture. A refreshingly different view, the author presents a portrait of human development from ""the other side""--from the perspective of the ""majority world."" In a world seemingly dominated by American psychology, she proposes the cross-cultural orientation as a corrective to the cult
