Cultural-Existential Psychology

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the interplay between culture and psychology, the book presents a new theoretical framework emphasizing the dual role of culture in both mitigating and creating threats. It argues that human symbolic consciousness uniquely positions us in existential dilemmas. The second part features research on a Mennonite community, exploring how religion and community dynamics influence experiences of guilt, anxiety, and natural disasters. This interdisciplinary approach highlights the complex relationship between cultural factors and psychological responses to threats.
