Both include foundational works on SP ideology and methodology, but the handbook builds upon these materials and expands the discussion by including more recent and diverse writings. She also edited the first book-length volume on SP, Filipino Psychology: Theory, Method, and Application (Surian ng Sikolohiyang Pilipino and the University of the Philippines Press, 1982), a precursor to this handbook. Prior to editing this handbook, she has authored and coauthored numerous articles and book chapters on similar topics. The editor, Rogelia Pe-Pua, was one of the first students of Virgilio Enriquez, the father of SP, and is a prime mover of indigenous psychology (IP) in the Philippines and the Asia-Pacific. Nonetheless, in compiling these writings, the book weaves a complete story of SP's purpose, history, and methodology, as well as its current state, challenges, and possible future directions. Except for thirteen original chapters, the contents of the handbook have been previously published as academic journal articles, conference reports, and book chapters. It also introduces research methods that SP advocates deem acceptable if one seeks to conduct social scientific inquiries that are aligned with SP's emphasis on advancing Filipino culture and language, national identity and consciousness, as well as social involvement (160). The first volume, which is the focus of this review, presents the perspectives that fueled its institutionalization as an approach and advocacy. Reading through this compilation of articles, one builds an intimate understanding of SP's development in terms of theory, method, and application.
The Handbook of Filipino Psychology (Sikolohiyang Pilipino or SP) traverses through the history of indigenous psychology in the Philippines.
