This textbook provides an essential, contextually sensitive and culturally relevant grounding in Psychology that sets the base for future studies. Replete with discussions on current themes and debates in the discipline, its interdisciplinary linkages are relevant in the current times, in terms of their contributions and application.

This volume addresses the overarching questions of the discipline, with chapters organized to discuss psychological concepts, theories and principles in the light of cultural world-views, where culture and the psyche are interdependent. It discusses the indigenous views of self and consciousness as well as contemporary applications of psychology in the global world.

This book, designed for a global readership, would be useful to the students and teachers of Psychology, Applied Psychology, Sociology, Social Work, Public Health, Gender, and Women Studies
