This collection of essays, theoretical papers and research works reflects psychology s application to various facets of life in Nigeria in particular and Africa in general. Topics range from the psychology of non-Western thought processes; attitudes of the young towards the old; drug abuse among young people; workplace performance; care for the elderly to the influence of globalization on young people; public/community safety, governance and corruption. Not being a traditional discipline like law and medicine, this book also provides an interesting time line of psychology s ontogenesis in Nigeria and how far the discipline has come along, with notations of the number of higher institutions that now offer psychology at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
