Health and Cross-Cultural Psychology: Toward Applications

by Pierre R. Dasen, John Berry

Health, in the sense of `quality of life` rather than `absence of disease′, is a universal goal in spite of cultural variations in the way it is defined and achieved. This book provides material from cross-cultural psychology for application in the development of a healthy society. Health and Cross-Cultural Psychology , while it points to leads for action, is not designed as a book of recipes - rather it summarizes the relevant research findings and scrutinizes the methodology through which they were established. Where necessary, the contributors focus on the need and direction for future research.
