This unprecendented volume assembles the writing of several Asian scholars who present distinctive contributions to psychology concerning the Asian continent, and the Philippines. Drawing freely from the Eastern intellectual traditions, this volume is organized around several themes: the distinctive characteristics of Asian societies; Asian contributions to psychology; and the need for relevant psychological research including indigenous modes of human behavior.

"This collection, born of discussions at an international cross-cultural meeting, reflects the contributors' intense commitments to indigenous Asian psychologies. Current trends in the research are well reflected here: classical theories and methods, and contemporary folk cultures and practices. The collection lacks a contribution reflecting psychological traditions and practices of Japan; otherwise, it is widely representative, both historically and geographically. Particularly useful for beginning students is Anand C. Pananjpe's introductory chapter, a sweeping overview of Western psychological thought, cross-cultural psychology, and East-West philosophical and psychological commonalities and contrasts. The contention that indigenous psychologies of Asia have significant potential for contributions to a universal psychology is supported by theoretical approaches and by descriptive presentations of contemporary behavior. This welcome addition to the endogenous literature helps balance the Western dominance of cross-cultural psychology. For college and university collections."-Choice
