Indigenization, westernization, and globalization are three interrelated resonating conceptualizations to discuss the legalizations of indigenous psychologies. Combined with them, they are meant the metaphysical epistemology of the discipline is implied double meanings that retain entity/stable ontology and fluidity/becoming domain. Indigenized psychology movements are not only a response to the Enlightenment and anti-colonial rhetorical acts, but also involve the ordinary world as it relates to historical tradition. It is situated in the everydayness, not confined in the academic reflection. They are future-oriented movements that transcend geographical segmentation phenomena, not a local event, but are naturally inclined dynamics towards the temporal dimension: that is a historical-cultural-social hybrid psychology. A literature review and narrative analysis are used to explore the rich meanings of the relationships among indigenous psychology, globalization, and westernization. A new agenda for the development of indigenous psychology is proposed. The results of the analysis showed that indigenous psychology is not the antithesis of western psychology, nor is it a footnote to cross-cultural psychology. The crossing boundary between east and west can produce new elements that manifest significant socio-cultural phenomena. Postmodern psychology disciplines are proposed as a strategy to deconstruct reality and highlight self-cultivation techniques. The innovation and establishment of indigenous psychology are an essential process when engaged with the discipline. Development of an indigenous clinical psychology is an important goal for researchers in Taiwan. |
