| Summary: | Psychological biography across cultures, that is, layers of interconnections between lives and stories, and how to conduct psychobiography in diverse cultural contexts is one of the least explored areas of research in psychoanalysis and psychology. However, Kakar's writings over the past 50 years, one of the rare collections of psychobiography, have systematically attempted to explore this terrain through the analysis of life narratives. In this volume, we have collected psychological biographies to advance the claim that the study of life narratives across cultures needs to be pursued, especially in the era of globalization and increased cross-cultural exchange and connectivity. |
