Prerequisites

The prerequisite(s) for this Teaching Unit (Unité d’enseignement – UE) for the programmes/courses that offer this Teaching Unit are specified at the end of this sheet.
Main themes
The course starts from the postulate that human development occurs in a given social environment. Through studies comparing different cultures or different environments with the same culture, it highlights the universal processes of development on the one hand and the impact of environment / culture on socio-emotional, cognitive or personal development of individuals. Parenthood is seen as an unavoidable vector of individual enculturation. Finally, the implications of these intercultural studies on the relationships that the psychologist establishes with his/ her clients / patients are considered initially theoretically and then in practice.
