A hermeneutical psychology is continually confronted by history, since, on the one hand, a human being is shaped by a culture which has reached a certain (historical) stage of its development and, on the other hand, every individual is the outcome of a process of becoming, of an idiosyncratic history within a particular historicocultural context. To function as a human being and not to become a Kaspar Hauser, the individual must after all more or less harmoniously fit herself into a specific culture.
Broadly stated, cultural psychology is an approach within psychology that attempts to describe, investigate and interpret the interrelatedness of culture and human psychic functioning. It is the branch of psychology that tries to take seriously the superficially trivial observation that these would not exist without each other, that culture is therefore a major factor in all meaningful human conduct, and that traces of human involvement can be detected in all expressions of culture. By “culture” this kind of psychology usually means a system of signs, rules, symbols and practices that on the one hand structure the human realm of action, structures that are on the other hand constantly being (re)constructed and transformed by human action and praxis.
1999; Much and Mahapatra 1995; Sampson 1996), or if they want to give an example, there is hardly any theory in the field of cultural psychology that has elaborated at length on any religious phenomenon or that has given a specific type of religious functioning its proper place. Moreover the number of studies on religion conducted from an explicitly cultural psychological point of view is very limited. Certainly, from psychoanalytic perspectives there have always been studies on religion (Belzen 2009a; Once More: The Modest Aims of This Book 17 Black 2006; Faber 2004; Meissner 1984; Vergote 1978/1988; Winer and Anderson 2007).
