“…This can consist in a modification of the existing theories by introducing globalization phenomena into thinking about the patterns of human reactions to universalistic tendencies in economy, politics, ecology, language, culture, and individual self-regulatory development of personal identity and lifestyle, additionally characterized by a high potential for unification and obligation (cf. Bandura, 2001Bandura, , 2002Kowalik, 2015aKowalik, , 2015bOleszkowicz & Senejko, 2013;Oleś, 2011;Salzman, 2001;Wosińska, 2007). Some authors propose new concepts and theories, making it possible to present the relationships between changes in the organization of social life and psychological reaction patterns.…”

The article is an attempt to reflect on the current tasks faced by clinical psychology as a field of science and practice. These tasks stem from the constant need to improve the scientific level of this discipline and to solve problems connected with intensive social changes.We have considered the issues of globalization and the challenges it implies for clinical psychology, presenting selected theories of globalization and the patterns of reaction to these changes. We see evidence-based practice in psychology as a reflection of these transformations in science and clinical practice. In the article, we discuss the positive influence of this approach on the improvement of assessment practice standards and psychotherapy effectiveness, drawing attention to some negative consequences of universalization, particularly those that threaten human agency. Addressing and responding to these challenges requires close cooperation of researchers and practitioners, which was called for at the 1st National Clinical Psychology Conference in 2014.Keywords: theory and practice of clinical psychology; globalization and culture; evidence-based practice; new challenges for assessment and therapy.

“…To accomplish these purposes a concept needs to be clearly defined with regards to its nature, significant explanatory processes, and causal determinants. As might be expected, many definitions of globalization have been published, revealing both the extent of interest in the topic, and also the continuing issues surrounding its utility as an explanatory concept for the changes occurring in our individual and collective lives (e.g., Al-Rodham & Stoutman, 2006;Milner, 2010;Salzman, 2001). Virtually all the definitions proceed from an acknowledgement that the process of globalization involves extensive and often imposed contact among people from different cultures, nations, and empires with subsequent social, cultural, economic, and political interdependencies and consequences.…”

Within the last two decades, globalization has emerged as one of the most popular topics for study among the social sciences. In contrast, however, to other social science disciplines that immediately grasped the importance of globalization as a trans-disciplinary macro-level concept capable of describing, explaining, and predicting social phenomena, globalization has not yet achieved widespread popularity in psychology. This article discusses the concept of globalization, its emergence, definitions, meanings, consequences, and critical implications for psychology.Upon this gifted age, in its dark hour, Falls from the sky a meteoric shower Of facts. They lie unquestioned, uncombined. Wisdom enough to leech us of our ill Is daily spun; But there exists no loom to weave it into fabric.Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892 -1950 Huntsman, What Quarry? The Global Context of Our livesMore than a decade ago, I called for the development of a new psychology-a global-community psychology-that would be responsive to the many changes and challenges emerging within our global era. I defined global-community psychology as a "meta-discipline" or "superordinate discipline" characterized as " . . . a set of premises, methods, and practices for psychology based on multicultural, multidisciplinary, multisectoral, and multinational foundations global in interest, scope, relevance, and applicability." (Marsella, 1998(Marsella, , p. 1282.

“…Cette approche se retrouve dans la Terror Managment Theory, une démarche psychologique, qui postule que les idéaux culturels peuvent servir d'exutoire à la terreur existentielle qui accompagne la vie humaine (conscience d'être mortel, précarité) ; cela explique que l'on considère le fondamentalisme religieux comme une idéologie qui, issue de l'anxiété, offre une vision cognitive et normative très claire du monde, capable de diminuer l'anxiété (Salzman, 2001(Salzman, , 2008.…”
