Description

This book originates from a lecture series given on Psychology and Anthropology at Goldsmiths College London in 2018.

It offers an introduction to psychological anthropology, and will be useful both for undergraduates and postgraduates.

While providing a critical overview of topics commonly included in psychological anthropological texts, such as psychoanalysis, culture and personality, child development, personality, emotion, the self, memory and cognition, this book also offers a chapter on Darwin, sociobiology and evolutionary psychology to emphasise that behaviour is not infinitely malleable, but, rather, culture impacts existent biological and psychological structures.

As shown here, while culture impacts psychological processes, these processes are constrained by genetic, biological and evolutionary factors.
