It is therefore a critical time to highlight the work of psychocultural anthropology with its focus on cultural, psychological, and social interrelations at all levels and across cultures. "A Companion to Psychological Anthropology" is a groundbreaking volume that brings together leading scholars for a first definitive overview of contemporary ethnographic work and the processes of global change. The "Companion" is an essential resource for teachers and students, as well as scholars, policy makers, and social service. |
