This cultural variety leads to an array of distinctive mental wishes. even if, those teams all proportion a typical historical past of colonialism, slavery, and indentured servitude that maintains to affect them to this present day. therefore, researchers, practitioners, and organisations needs to collaborate to create a unified Caribbean psychology that meets either the shared and disparate wishes of these who stay within the zone and within the diaspora. This e-book brings jointly students from various fields, a lot of whom come from Caribbean backgrounds. Divided into 5 sections, the e-book starts off with an summary of psychology within the Caribbean, arguing that psychology is biased in the direction of the Euro-American point of view. therefore, it examines the conceptual bases for an indigenous method of Caribbean psychology as a part of a extra globalized self-discipline. each one next part makes a speciality of a specific box of research: Developmental psychology; overall healthiness and group psychology; Social psychology; scientific psychology. Chapters inside of those sections hide a number of issues that would profit not just researchers and practitioners who concentrate on Caribbean-specific matters, but in addition those that search a extra foreign method of psychology.
