“Global Psychologies: Mental Health and the Global South. In this work, an international group of experts discuss psychology from non-Western perspectives. The result is a fascinating and refreshing look at how psychology must be understood and employed within the full range of contexts, attitudes, values, belief-systems, and religions of the people whom one is attempting to understand and help.” (R. E. Osborne, Choice, Vol. 56 (6), February, 2019)
