ABSTRACT
Indigenous psychology is an emerging academic project and intellectual movement that provides a strong critique of the exportation of North American and Northern European psychologies to other countries. Sundararajan provides an overview of indigenous psychology through a personal and historical account of the Task Force on Indigenous Psychology, which started as a special interest group in Division 32, November, 2010. It is now an international community of over 200 members around the globe. One of the first projects undertaken by the Task Force was constructing and conducting a Delphi poll, between 2012 and 2015, to shed light on the values, goals, and concerns of the members, as well as to present statistically their predictions of the development of this field in the next ten years. This research helps clarify how indigenous psychology is understood by those who identify with this movement. Sundararajan concludes with observations of the potential contributions of this burgeoning field to humanistic psychology, including applications to clinical practice.
