Ethnopsychology
This book presents an overview of Mexican ethnopsychology, an original theoretical and methodological approach that seeks to complement the mainstream psychological science – based on universal principles, processes and constructs – with scientific methods to study the idiosyncratic features and behaviors typical of specific cultural groups. It proposes a historic-bio-psycho-socio-cultural theoretical model to describe research findings of social, psychological, collective and individual phenomena. Psychology is at a crossroads of years of research with stress on internal validity and little attention to contextual and cultural variables. It becomes fundamental to continue on the interna...
International Psychology
While acknowledging their major debt to Europeans like Freud, Piaget, Erickson, Lewin, and Jung, American psychologists generally concentrated on developments in American psychology. And this tendency prevails in spite of the fact that innovations?in sport psychology and clinical neuropsychology, for example?have continued to come from abroad. International Psychology is a much-needed exposition of the state of psychology in forty-five countries, including the Soviet Union and the United States. Emphasizing the period from 1960 to the present, and surveying the training, research, and practice of psychologists on six continents, this volume introduces a widely dispersed network of occupation...

La cultura y sus efectos sobre la psicología del mexicano
Una obra como la que el lector tiene en sus manos, elaborada con un profundo conocimiento de las fuentes, consultadas en numerosas jornadas de trabajo, surge de la motivación de difundir de manera eficaz y contundente los trabajos de investigación que hablan sobre el mexicano y su contexto psicosocial. Se trata de una compilación de investigaciones, en su mayoría de psicólogos sociales, que muestra la inteligencia y sensibilidad de los autores, así como su vasta comprensión de los efectos que la cultura tiene sobre la psicología de los individuos. En el libro hay una docta utilización de documentos hábilmente integrados en el discurso, desde donde se apunta hacia un compromiso social y a que el lector encuentre ideas nuevas y formas diferentes de ver la investigación social.
