The first comprehensive summary of psychological studies of Arab-Muslim societies, this book examines psychological development through the life-span, describing how traditional patterns appear to be changing in both "modernizing" and "underdeveloping" sectors of Middle Eastern societies. It provides a scholarly account of the region's cultural psychology, and also offers insight into the daily lives of parents, children, and families as they struggle behind and sometimes in the headlines to modernize while conserving valued traditions.
