Re-envisioning Psychology

Debating Paradigmatic Foundations

By: Parul Bansal

This book studies the ideological nature of mainstream scientific psychology. It raises critical questions about the dominant forms of psychological theorization and praxis, based on their validity, social relevance and power privileges. Re-envisioning Psychology critically interrogates scientific images of the mind, individual, gender, development, society and culture that mainstream psychology promotes. The issues taken up in this book revolve around the pivotal concerns of psychology’s scientific basis, its dominant quantitative research methodology, the construction of ‘individual’ as the unit of analysis, the conceptualization of ‘social’, ‘cultural’ and ‘gender’ in relation to individualism, and the understanding of abnormality as shaped by the discourses of medical science and capitalism. Comprehensive and topical, the book will be useful to students, researchers, and teachers of psychology, applied psychology, social work, gender and women studies, and sociology. It will also be of interest to professional counsellors and psychotherapists.

Youth in Contemporary India

Images of Identity and Social Change

By: Parul Bansal

This book endeavors to be a study of identity in Indian urban youth. It is concerned with understanding the psychological themes of conformity, rebellion, individuation, relatedness, initiative and ideological values which pervade youths’ search for identity within the Indian cultural milieu, specifically the Indian family. In its essence, the book attempts to explore how in contemporary India the emerging sense of individuality in youth is seeking its own balance of relationality with parental figures and cohesion with social order. The research questions are addressed to two groups of young men and women in the age group of 20-29 years-Youth in Corporate sector and Youth in Non Profit sector. Methodologically, the study is a psychoanalytically informed, process oriented, context sensitive work that proceeds via narrations, conversations and in-depth life stories of young men and women. Overall, the text reflects on the nature of inter-generational continuity and shifts in India.

Money, Culture, Class

Elite Women as Modern Subjects

By: Parul Bhandari

Based on ethnographic research, this book explores the ways in which elite women use and view money in order to construct identities – of class, status, and gender. Drawing on their everyday worlds, it tracks the intricate and contested meanings they attach to money. Focusing on weddings, travel, and spirituality, Parul Bhandari delineates the entitlements and privileges as well as the obsessions and vulnerabilities that underlie the construction of class, the shaping of elite cultures, and the curating of femininity. As such, this book offers an innovative account of the interplay between money, modernity, class, and gender.

Marital Violence : Women at the intersection of Law and Society

A sociological review on the global and parochial perspectives with special reference to Pune.

By: Parul Parihar

This book is a comprehensive study on the marital violence against women with a peculiar reference to global and parochial perspectives in hand. It is consciously summarised into 5 chapters that deal analytically with a critical evaluation on the narratives of family violence and the viciousness that creeps against the vulnerability of women subjected to it and explore the trends, dimensions, aspects and causes of this syndrome. It is a conglomerate of socio, legal and political insights that enrapture the power and manipulative gimmicks solely based on preserving the hierarchal dominion of the male ego in patriarchy. From Feminist Social Research to the conceptions that are ambiguous to the class consciousness of women in debate, this book is a modest exposure to the system with an astute interpretation of the interpretative law and the lacuna that still remains while including conclusions and proposed suggestions to combat the issue at the matrimonial, social and cultural levels. The prominent case studies and cases discussed in the book is a beguiled manifestation of keeping society sovereign and law as its custodian at the altar of diminishing the individuality of a woman who remains all or nothing but for the other self. This book is a sociological analysis on the legal dimensions of marital violence with field work and researched data on domestic abuse to support it for future reference studies.

Managing Climate Change and Sustainability through Behavioural Transformation

By: Parul Rishi

This book addresses climate change and sustainability management from a transdisciplinary perspective which encompasses within itself how different humanistic disciplines can culminate with each other to move ahead with the agenda. Issues of adapting to climate change and sustainability management have been gaining global prominence over the past few decades. There have also been volumes of literature that highlight the technical dimensions of climate change and sustainability across regions and cultures. However, they have had limited strength to bring direct and desirable impact in promoting pro-climate action and sustainability behaviour. The major reason for this is limited inclusion of pluralistic perspectives into human cognition and affect, and resultant limited public acceptability. Although behavioural science as a discipline has taken a front seat in promoting behavioural transformation, the book argues that other humanistic fields of understanding like education, art, literature, philosophy, political science, sociology, economics, etc., have to be integrated in order to present a holistic standpoint to sustainability literature.
