Unscientific Psychology

Fred Newman

4.9/5 (33792 ratings)

Description:Taking a unique post-postmodern approach to the current crisis in psychology, this book is at once a narrative of the family history of philosophy, modern science, and psychology and a critique of methodology in current psychological practice. Arguing that psychology today is a pseudoscientific hoax, the authors deconstruct three of its most powerful myths: the myth of the individual, the myth of mental illness, and the myth of development. They tell the story of how these myths were constructed out of age-old philosophical abstractions to create a world and a discourse of godlike psychological objects. Synthesizing the anti-foundationalism of two pre-postmodernists, Lev Vygotsky and Ludwig Wittgenstein, the authors urge the construction of a distinctly unscientific psychology--an approach to understanding human life that is cultural, relational, and performatory rather than scientific.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
