This text provides readers with a curated collection of articles that introduce the basic tenets of psychological anthropology. It presents the basic history of the discipline, terms, theories, and contributions from an intellectual movement-the culture and personality movement-that later became known as the subdiscipline of psychological anthropology. The second edition features revisions and updates throughout, as well as three new readings titled "Culture and Personality Studies, 1918-1960: Myth and History", "Precocious Children: Cultural Priming by Parents and Others", and "Selection from: "Altered States of Consciousness: Visions, Spirit Possession, Sky Journeys."
