Cultural Psychology: A Perspective on Psychological Functioning And Social Reform
Posted on 2011-08-18
|  |
More Carl Ratner's new book deepens our understanding of psychology by emphasizing the role that cultural factors, such as social institutions, artifacts, and cultural concepts play in psychological functioning. The author demonstrates the impact of culture on stimulating and structuring emotion, personality, perception, cognition, memory, sexuality, and mental illness. Examples from interdisciplinary social science research illuminate a sophisticated dialectical relationship between cultural factors and psychological phenomena. Written in an engaging and straightforward style, the book articulates a new theory, "macro cultural psychology", and a qualitative methodology for investigating the cultural origins, characteristics, and functions of psychological phenomena. The theory is grounded in Vygotsky's cultural-historical psychology. Ratner explains how this cultural perspective can be used to enhance psychological growth and illuminate directions for social reform. He explains how social reform can enhance psychological functioning, and vice versa. The theory explains how and why psychological phenomena are organized in macro cultural factors. This analysis contributes to multicultural understanding and communication. Cultural Psychology critically examines several prominent psychological approaches including social constructionism, feminism, hermeneutics, psychobiology, evolutionary, cross-cultural, ecological and mainstream psychology. The book articulates a theory of macro culture that emphasizes the political dimension of culture and psychology.
