Description & Coverage
Description:

Global Applications of Indian Psychology: Therapeutic and Strategic Models addresses a pressing problem in the field of psychology: the need for a fresh perspective that can effectively tackle the complex challenges of our modern world. While traditional Western psychology has its merits, it often fails to consider crucial aspects of human experience and well-being, limiting our understanding and hindering our ability to meet diverse global needs. This book offers a solution by presenting an interdisciplinary exploration of Indian psychology and its practical applications.

Edited by Anuradha Sathiyaseelan and Sathiyaseelan Balasundaram, this comprehensive guide caters to academic scholars seeking a unique approach to understanding human psychology. It delves into the historical roots and philosophical foundations of Indian psychology, providing readers with a profound understanding of its principles and theories. The book highlights the multidisciplinary applications of Indian psychology, ranging from management and health to clinical practices, highlighting the significance of ancient Indian texts, ayurveda, yoga, and mindfulness meditation.

By facilitating cross-cultural dialogue and collaboration, Global Applications of Indian Psychology: Therapeutic and Strategic Models bridges the gap between Indian and Western psychology, offering researchers and practitioners insights from both traditions. This fosters a more comprehensive understanding of human psychology and equips individuals with effective strategies to enhance well-being and flourishing worldwide. This invaluable resource fills a crucial gap in the field, offering a unique perspective and practical insights for teaching professionals, students, healthcare professionals, policymakers, researchers, and scholars in their quest for understanding and improving human psychology.

Reviews & Statements

The chapter "Holistic approach as a strategy for special education in India" is unique in its attempt to view the child with learning disabilities within an Indian context, taking into consideration the socio-cultural challenges that largely steer the special educational support offered to the child. The chapter is relevant to the field of research as it identifies the important contributions of ancient Indian educational philosophies and how it aligns to modern day educational and cognitive psychology practices in the field of learning disabilities. It answers questions like ‘what kind of goals should be considered for a child with learning disorders?’, ‘is it important to bring out the uniqueness of each child?’, ‘what would be an ideal intervention approach in India?’ and ‘how to understand the term holistic within a cognitive framework for assessment purposes? With RTE and NEP as contemporary issues, this chapter aptly joins the dots across multiple facets to present a compact child-centered assessment, intervention and approach of Indian roots that could benefit children the world over.
