Search for Integration and Policy Relevance.ReviewsThis important book is relevant for understanding any intervention which explicitly or implicitly seeks to change parenting practice, and to inform debate about the desirability of such change. -The Parenting Forum ...a splendored tapestry of a book, weaving together, among other things, a critique of Western individualism and discussion of intervention to aid non-Western poor, including her own work on mother empowerment in Istanbul. -Contemporary Psychology ...an extraordinary and very ambitious undertaking that goes far beyond the main title's suggestion...a very valuable contribution to many ongoing discussions in the interdisciplinary field of cultural research. -International Journal of Behavioral Development Kagitcibasi writes in a style which includes reference to personal experiences in Euro-American settings during her own education and psychological practice, which brings to immediate life the realities of culture-based models of normative behaviour. This increases the accessibility of her wide-ranging text as she weaves her themes of contextual-developmental-functional thinking of children, families and communities embedded in cultural contexts....In seeking a model to understanding the systematic relationships between individuals and communities, community psychologists might productively explore the outer layers of the Russian doll set within which psychology is itself systematically nested. Kagitcibasi's text unpacks some of those layers and illustrates some of the implications for practice. -Journal of Community and Applied Social Psychology Author InformationCigdem Kagitibasi, Koc University.
