Perspectives on Indigenous Psychology is an effort to bring into focus the context, contents and relevance of the move towards indigenous psychology in India. This volume offers a critical appreciation of the changing context of science and places, the discipline of psychology in the emerging interpretive framework of human sciences. The contributions make an effort to explore the potentials of indigenous notions in the areas like self understanding, health and well-being, happiness, stress, personality, emotions and skill development. The relevance of culture and ideology to the development of the discipline is also critically examined and assessment of indigenization of psychology in India is made. Modern psychology is a discipline predominantly rooted in the western cultural practices and ideologies. However, under politico-economic compulsions this peculiarly. Euro-American scholarship has been projected as universal, secular, and scientific. This image has been transported to the developing countries of the world; many of them have a colonial history. In recent past not only variations and similarities in human behaviour across cultures have been identified but also the role of culture in constituting psychological phenomena has been explicated. In this context exploration into indigenous psychologies has become an important concern. The present volume extends the debate and contributes to the development of post western psychology. This volume provides important source material, fresh ideas and concepts that will go a long way in shaping the discipline of psychology in the post positivist era. The volume is of interest to the students of psychology, sociology, anthropology, education, health sciences, and related fields.
