Product Description
In this revised edition, Lindholm introduces the field of psychological anthropology, tracing the growth of the field, interweaving perspectives from anthropology, psychology, and sociology, and applying the insights gained to an understanding of daily life in the West. Unlike other texts, Culture and Identity deals with contemporary issues, includes important theorists that have previously been ignored, and covers contemporary topics such as object relations, identity, emotions, cognition, idealized relationships, and the psychology of groups.

A Great Survey of Psychological Anthropology May 21, 2005
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is a slightly peculiar book, and brilliant for that very reason. What Charles Lindholm has done is put together a work with all of the tight, careful organization and encyclopedic coverage of a well-written introductory text, and done so without sacrificing a personable and well-voiced narrative. The topics and perspectives presented are fascinating, broad, and synthesized so well in the text that I'm consistently surprised at finding little tidbits of insight in it even after having read more broadly into its subject matter. In other words, it manages to be both a textbook and an individual treatment of the subject all at once. A great reference!
