Synopsis

This text provides readers with a curated collection of articles that introduce the basic tenets of psychological anthropology. It presents the basic history of the discipline, terms, theories, and contributions from an intellectual movement—the culture and personality movement—that later became known as the subdiscipline of psychological anthropology. The second edition features revisions and updates throughout, as well as three new readings titled "Culture and Personality Studies, 1918-1960: Myth and History", "Precocious Children: Cultural Priming by Parents and Others", and "Selection from: "Altered States of Consciousness: Visions, Spirit Possession, Sky Journeys."
