In A History of Modern Psychology in Context, the authors resist the traditional storylines of great achievements by eminent people, or schools of thought that rise and fall in the wake of scientific progress. Instead, psychology is portrayed as a network of scientific and professional practices embedded in specific contexts. The narrative is informed by three key concepts—indigenization, reflexivity, and social constructionism—and by the fascinating interplay between disciplinary Psychology and everyday psychology.
This volume presents the life and work of 62 prominent Indian psychologists with each chapter illustrating their life and work. The nature and framework of each chapter is uniform, encompassing a brief biography, of the psychologists, their affiliations with various institutions and most prominently, their contributions to the field of psychology. The major highlight of the book is the collection of work of Indian scholars recorded in the form of research articles, book chapters and books, some of which were even used to develop models by Western scholars, but never received their due credit. The research activities conducted at universities and institutions have been the backbone of scienti...
This important volume takes the cultural embeddedness of behaviour as its central theme. This theme is elaborated in a variety of cultural contexts including India, China and Mexico. Besides theoretical issues, the contributors cover a wide range of important topics in the areas of developmental psychology, community mental health, the psychology of language, organizational behaviour, and school psychology. Specific chapters are devoted to a comparative understanding of human behaviour, child development, family patterns, personality, leadership and managerial practice, and the role of culture in community interventions.
This book is based on lectures delivered in the memory of a legendary Indian Psychologist, Late Professor Durganand Sinha, by several distinguished Indian and International scholars who discuss how Psychology needs to diverge from what has come to be called a WEIRD [(W)estern, (E)ducated, (I)ndustrialized, (R)ich, (D)emocratic)] Psychology that claims to propound universal laws of human behaviour. The chapters included in the book focus on understanding micro and macro-level social and psychological issues within cultural contexts. The book looks at the indigenous roots of cultures and how they inform our understanding of psychological processes and structures; how cultures and their contexts modify psychological processes and associated behaviour, and problems that arise in making cross-cultural comparisons. It also looks at how such understanding that comes out from such approaches can be used to enhance societal development and wellbeing. The book discusses the paradigmatic shifts that are taking place in Psychology and will be of interest to scholars of Psychology, both in developing as well as developed societies

Over the last decade, globalization has had a tremendous and far reaching impact on Indian management culture, policy and leadership styles. Management in India presents the first comprehensive and indepth examination of the emerging changes in Indian management culture both at the macro and micro levels and their impact on domestic and multinational businesses based in India. Drawing on the talent of outstanding contributors, the editors of this book analyse how the Indian business scenario is changing rapidly, while the attitude towards and orientation and practice of management has been correspondingly slow to change. Indian managers have found it difficult to change policies both at the enterprise and the employee level to match an increasingly global and international environment.
