The number of psychologists whose work crosses cultural boundaries is increasing.
Without a critical awareness of their own cultural grounding, they risk imposing
the assumptions, concepts, practices, and values of U.S.-centered psychology on
societies where they do not fit, as a brief example from the 2004 Indian Ocean
tsunami shows. Hermeneutic thinkers offer theoretical resources for gaining
cultural awareness. Culture, in the hermeneutic view, is the constellation of
meanings that constitutes a way of life. Such cultural meanings-especially in the
form of folk psychologies and moral visions-inevitably shape every psychology,
including U.S. psychology. The insights of hermeneutics, as well as its
conceptual resources and research approaches, open the way for psychological
knowledge and practice that are more culturally situated.
