{"product_id":"cultural-existential-psychology-daniel-sullivan-9781107480711","title":"Cultural-Existential Psychology: The Role of Culture in Suffering and Threat","description":"Cultural psychology and experimental existential psychology are two of the fastest-growing movements in social psychology. In this book, Daniel Sullivan combines both perspectives to present a groundbreaking analysis of culture's role in shaping the psychology of threat experience. The first part of the book presents a new theoretical framework guided by three central principles: that humans are in a unique existential situation because we possess symbolic consciousness and culture; that culture provides psychological protection against threatening experiences, but also helps to create them; and that interdisciplinary methods are vital to understanding the link between culture and threat. In the second part of the book, Sullivan presents a novel program of research guided by these principles. Focusing on a case study of a traditionalist group of Mennonites in the midwestern United States, Sullivan examines the relationship between religion, community, guilt, anxiety, and the experience of natural disaster.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Sullivan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 110748071X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107480711\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/04\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 313\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.66d","brand":"Daniel Sullivan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43924060078335,"sku":"9781107480711","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2d051d79-a27e-41b4-aa7f-089e5d7aee2b.jpg?v=1681068239","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cultural-existential-psychology-daniel-sullivan-9781107480711","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
