This original approach attempts to get at the root of fragmentation and confusion in modern psychology. It shows how practitioners and researchers can acknowledge and even prize their social and moral commitments while still taking a rigorously critical approach to examining their theories and practice. The authors argue that this reframing of psychology in terms of interpretation and dialogue can propel psychology to greater social relevance and responsibility. Moreover, it suggests new ways of thinking and social involvement that can enrich professional practice.
A Powerful New View of Psychology
Re–envisioning Psychology offers a provocative examination of contemporary psychology and its role in society and presents a bold new philosophical perspective from which clinicians and researchers can re–imagine their work.
"Re–envisioning Psychology is a breath of fresh air, a clear and resounding voice that provides an intellectual and moral direction that, if heeded and built upon, could lead psychology out of the confusion and political collusion in which it is currently mired. Richardson, Fowers, and Guignon have imaginatively applied interpretive and dialogic concepts to the most troubling aspects of theory and practice. If psychology is going to be saved from its own worst tendencies, this book will be an indispensable element in its turning."
Philip Cushman, associate professor, California School of Professional Psychology and author of Constructing the Self, Constructing America: A Cultural History of Psychotherapy
"Richardson, Fowers, and Guignon bring together a valuable integrated examination of psychology′s entanglements with twentieth century ideologies. The book provides a cogent argument for the importance of social theory in the understanding of the cultural and moral underpinnings of modern psychology and psychological practice. A commendable ethical imperative drives the authors′ ideas and provides a model for others."
Rachel T. Hare–Mustin, diplomate in clinical psychology, American Board of Professional Psychology; author, Making a Difference: Psychology and the Construction of Gender
"This book is a frank and insightful assessment of the unacknowledged culture and moral values that pervade modern psychotherapy practice and theory. This book not only diagnoses the problem but offers us an ′interpretive psychology′ as a thought–provoking treatment."
Brent D. Slife, professor of psychology, Brigham Young University; author, What′s Behind the Research?: Discovering Hidden Assumptions in the Behavioral Sciences
