Summary

Critical Psychology collects the thoughts and experiences of psychologists from around the world who have come to challenge the dominant frameworks and practices of their discipline. In 20 hard-hitting chapters, scholar/activists develop critiques of psychology's scientism and individualism, and argue for a reinvention of psychology as a discipline committed to the struggle against social injustice and oppression.
