The Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR), the premier organization for research in the social sciences in India, conducts periodic surveys in the major disciplines of the social sciences to assess disciplinary developments and to identify gaps in research in these disciplines. As part of this unique endeavour, surveys in psychology have been undertaken since the 1960s. Psychology in India, the latest survey, is divided into four volumes and a total of twenty-four chapters, each volume highlighting a core area of the field—Basic Psychological Processes and Human Development Social and Organizational Processes Clinical and Health Psychology and Theoretical and Methodological Developments. The volumes provide focused discussions on topical issues in each of these areas, as well as on emergent concerns. Written by leading subject experts in the country, every chapter in the volumes draws upon a theme of methodological and empirical significance to offer critical insights.
