Until recently, the field of psychology has been a monocultural science in a Euro-American envelope, but this is rapidly changing. Profound shifts in social, economic, political, and academic development have resulted in a more multicultural perspective for psychology.
As a result, multiculturalism adds a new dimension to psychodynamic, humanistic, and behavioral psychology, without diminishing the importance of these three conventional psychologies, in much the same way as the fourth dimension of time adds meaning to three dimensional spaces.
Each contributor to this book describes the need for multiculturalism in psychology, the difficulties in establishing a multicultural perspective, and what has to happen before multiculturalism can claim to be a "Fourth Force" to supplement the three forces of humanism, behavioralism, and psychodynamism for psychology.
