The Critique of Psychology (eBook, PDF)

From Kant to Postcolonial Theory

Beschreibung

This work is the first book to look at the history of psychology in a different way: from the perspective of a history of the critique of psychology, rather than from the perspective of a great pioneer, Zeitgeist, or the cumulative progress of knowledge. In this unique perspective, which focuses on the last 200 years, historical and theoretical reconstructions are combined.

Rezensionen

From the reviews of the first edition: "Teo traces the modern critiques of psychology. ... Catching the eye are parts of the post colonial critiques, which provides insight into the institutionalized racism of early psychological researchers ... . This is an academic book that provides a useful historical guide to the major criticisms of the psychological theory over the last two centuries." (Jeremy Dean, The Psychologist, Vol. 19 (12), 2006)
