You'll find some historical material on this in the following books: 1962 Ramachandra Rao, Saligrama Krishna Development of Psychological Thought in India Mysore, India: Kavyalaya Publishers

1963 Sinha, Suhridchandra Fifty years of Science in India: Progress of Psychology Calcutta, Indian Science Congress Association

1946 Akhilananda, Swami Hindu Psychology, Its Meaning for the West New York: Harper Boston: Branden Press Reprinted 1979, 1988 London: G. Routledge, 1960, 1999 London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1948, 1970

There is also a short chapter on psychology in India in Virginia Sexton and Henryk Misiak's Psychology around the World. You'll find additional material if you search the web or the world catalogue of books for Hindu psychology. You might check an encyclopedia of psychology for that.

You'll find a link for the Indian Journal of Clinical Psychology at http://medind.nic.in/imvw/iagaa.html and links for a variety of Indian journals and resources at http://education.vsnl.com/psyindia/jrn.html There is also a Journal of Indian Psychology
