The team of internationally acclaimed authors present the latest empirical research, theory, methodology and applications from around the world. They discuss all domains of behavior (including development, social behavior, personality, cognition, psycholinguistics, emotion and perception), and present the three main approaches in cross-cultural psychology (cultural, culture-comparative, and indigenous traditions) as well as applications to a number of domains (including acculturation, intercultural relations and communication, work and health). With new additions to the writing team, the third edition benefits from an even broader range of cross-cultural perspectives.

Dans toutes les cultures, les rites se sont imposés pour nous aider à gérer nos comportements et nos croyances. Au fil du temps, l'évolution de nos sociétés à modifié ces rites, restés cependant ancrés dans notre inconscient et nos pratiques. Apprendre à les connaître en fonction des différentes cultures est plus que jamais nécessaire dans un monde pluriel où la violence fait partie de la vie quotidienne. Inhérente à l'humanité, cette violence qui se fond et se confond avec le sacré, se trouve médiatisée par les rites de passagfe. Présente dans le lien mère-enfant, en raison de l'ambivalence maternelle, elle peut conduire à des distorsions relationnelles risquant d'exposer l'enfant à des projections, maternelles et parentales, qui peuvent éventuellement conduire à des sévices. Un regard sur différentes cultures (chinoise, juive, maghrébine...) nous informe dans cet ouvrage sur l'importance que les rites revêtent dans la perception d'un environnement local et en particulier en situation de métissage et de migration. Yolande Govindama, psychologie clinicienne, psychanlyste, expert près de la Cour d'Appel de Paris, est professeur de psychologie clinique à l'université de Rouen. Elle travaille depuis plus de 30 ans dans la protection judiciaire de l'enfance et a pour terrain de recherche, l'île de la Réunion.

There have been many books, movies, and even TV commercials featuring Neandertals--some serious, some comical. But what was it really like to be a Neandertal? How were their lives similar to or different from ours? In How to Think Like a Neandertal, archaeologist Thomas Wynn and psychologist Frederick L. Coolidge team up to provide a brilliant account of the mental life of Neandertals, drawing on the most recent fossil and archaeological remains. Indeed, some Neandertal remains are not fossilized, allowing scientists to recover samples of their genes--one specimen had the gene for red hair and
