"Psychologists are increasingly applying their knowledge, skills, and values to big-picture issues such as sustainability, human rights, conflict resolution, global education, and religious and cultural understanding. However, education, training, and professional development often overlook "thinking and acting globally" as a vital component of the professional identities of psychologists. With decades of international experience as scholars, educators, practitioners, policymakers, and consultants, contributors to this book describe exemplary programs, relevant trends, and dynamic possibilities for global engagement. They focus specifically on nine key areas of expertise through which psychologists can make a difference: advocacy, assessment, consultation, intervention, leadership, policy, research, service, and teaching. Chapters also highlight opportunities for international and interdisciplinary collaboration while empowering indigenous voices and psychologies. This book is timely for another reason. For the first time, mainstream psychology is beginning to openly question its traditional narrow focus on Western norms, values, and perspectives. The increase in attention to decolonization is an important process for psychology, and the rise of robust Indigenous psychologies are creating powerful changes in the ways that psychologists think about and practice international engagement in a transculturally competent manner. The audience is all who believe that psychology should have a seat at the global table. This includes students who will be the next generation of scholars, educators, practitioners, and leaders-whom we teach, mentor, and supervise-even as they show us what they need and want in order to address the many challenges we face, locally and globally." -- (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
