Cross-Cultural or Intercultural Psychotherapy

Warren Weaver, a biological scientist, wrote that. “..... as man’s control of his environment has proceeded... he has progressively uncovered more and unifying principles which accept the ever increasing variety, but recognize and underlying unity. He has, in short, discovered the many and the one.... The diversity....a surface phenomenon. When one looks underneath and within, the universal unity becomes apparent...” His observation applies not only to the physical and biological realms, but also to the human sciences including psychology. One might substitute the phrase “as man’s understanding of man has proceeded” for the first phrase of Weaver’s statement and the remainder would still be relevant (Weaver, 1966).
