Indigenous Counseling

In view of the limitations of mainstream Western psychology, the necessity of indigenous psychology for the development of global community psychology is discussed in the context of multiculturalism. In addition to this general introduction, four articles underlying a common theme were designed to discuss (a) various types of value conflicts between Confucian cultural heritage and Western individualism in an age of globalization; (b) the psychometric approach for measuring collectivistic conflict; (c) a counseling model of situational self-relation coordination for Chinese clients to handle interpersonal conflicts; and (d) the psychotherapeutic implications of various self-cultivation practices originating from the cultural traditions of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. The articles in this special issue may contribute to the development of indigenous counseling practice in multicultural Chinese communities.

The One

This paper presents the case of psychology from a perspective not widely recognized by the West, namely, the Egyptian, Arab, and Islamic perspective. It discusses the introduction and development of psychology in this part of the world. Whenever such efforts are evaluated, six problems become apparent: (1) the one-way interaction with Western psychology; (2) the intellectual dependency; (3) the remote relationship with national heritage; (4) its irrelevance to cultural and social realities; (5) the inhibition of creativity; and (6) the loss of professional identity. Nevertheless, some major achievements are emphasized, and a four-facet look into the 21st century is proposed.

<p>Psikologi klasik cenderung konservatif, yang lebih banyak berurusan dengan teori teori tentang proses-proses individual dan yang bersifat universal. Kecenderungan kepada paradigma sosial, berawal ketika psikolog-psikolog Eropa, Serge<br />Moscovici meluncurkan gagasannya tentang reprentasi sosial (1961) dan Henrri Tajfel dan Turner mempublikasikan teori mereka tentang identitas social (1979). Psikologi tidak lagi semata-mata individual, namun terkait dengan lingkungan sosial dan kebudayaan. Setiap kelompok, ras atau etnik, jadinya punya psikologinya sendiri yang relevan dengan konteks kehidupan masingmasing. Di tahun 1933 seorang psikolog Asia, Uichol Kim dan sejawatnya orang Eropa, John Berry mencetuskan istilah indigenous psychology yang didefi niskannya sebagai “studi ilmiah tentang perilaku dan minda (mind) manusia yang berasal dari dirinya sendiri (native), yang tidak dibawa dari daerah lain, dan dirancang untuk orang-orang itu sendiri”. Karena tidak ada padanan dalam bahasa Indonesia untuk kata “indigenous”, maka dalam sebuah Konges Ikatan Psikologi Sosial di Universitas Indonesia, Jakarta, pada tahun 1999, saya mencetuskan kata “ulayat”. Saya meminjam istilah itu dari antropologi dan hukum</p><p>Kata kunci:. Psikologi sosial, psikologi budaya, psikologi Asia, psikologi ulayat</p>

Abstract Among all creations of God living on this planet, Man is the most intelligent, innovative and creative.  Imbued with these qualities, Man was able to plan, create and recreate new things using the resources available in the environment. Man’s position as God’s best creation and as the recipient of the creative intelligence from his Creator has further advanced him in mastering science and technology. As a result of his advancement in knowledge and science in one way or another has ushered Man into creating great civilizations. While the discussion goes on as to whether Man’s creativity is an inborn or a learned behaviour, this paper intends to explore and analyze some of the existing concepts of human creativity found in Western and Islamic psychologies. Very particularly, the researchers would like to examine the concept of creativity put forward by Freudian Psychoanalysis, Behaviorists, Humanistic and Islamic psychologies. It is expected that the findings of this research can motivate mankind to be more dynamic and productive in bringing the much needed positive change to the present world conditions.   Keywords: Man, Creativity, Contrastive Analysis, Western Psychology, Islamic Psychology.   Abstrak Di antara semua ciptaan Tuhan yang hidup di planet ini, Manusia adalah yang paling pintar, inovatif dan kreatif.

Islamic Belief

Western psychology tends to be divisive in dealing with human personality and has been responsible for the nature-versus nurture controversy. On the one hand, it contends that certain corrupt behavior is predetermined by psychological or biological factors from conception—while on the other, it explains behavior as a simplistic series of reinforcements from contingencies and conditioned responses to environmental stimuli. This secular humanistic outlook has produced an ethical relativism that is the current trend in today’s world. This stance is not condemned only by Islam, but also by most religions of the world. This shows that the human nature (fitrah) is still vibrant and dynamic. This article attempts to highlight the importance of the Islamic belief system—which is an integrated and comprehensive way in dealing with human behavior—especially by means of the interaction of nature, nurture, and the spiritual factor in the formation of human behavior.
