Helga Dittmar em The Psychology of material possessions. To have is to be, ao estudo psicológico da cultura material. Apresenta-se rapidamente um histórico da pesquisa sobre as posses materiais como um " eu estendido". A despeito da utilidade do livro como um repositório de informações de todo tipo, esta não é ainda a obra de síntese, tão necessária, sobre o potencial da Psicologia Social no estudo da cultura material, em virtude das muitas lacunas, assim como de um tratamento superficial e enciclopédico de várias questões-chave.

Cultura Material; Posses materiais; Pscicologia Social

The A. appraises Helga Dittmar's contribution to the psychological understanding of material culture (The Psychology of material possessions. To have is to be). A short historical bockground is given for the study of material possessions operating as an "extended self". In spite of its usefulness as a repertoire of information of all kinds, Dittmar's book is nol yet the much needed synthesis of Social Psychology's pctential for a deeper knowledge of material culture, due to severa I gaps as well as to the cursory and encyclopaedic treatment of many central issues.
