Rebels within the Ranks: Psychologists' Critique of Scientific Authority and Democratic Realities in New Deal America (Cambridge Studies in the History of Psychology) - Hardcover
Synopsis
This book examines the work of social and personality psychologists who, in the 1930s, criticized the increasingly restrictive vision of scientific life being promoted by neobehaviorist social scientists. This critique has been overlooked by historians who have concentrated on the rise of neobehaviorism, rather than the challenges advanced by such "rebels within the ranks" as Gordon Allport, Gardner Murphy, and Lois Barclay Murphy. All three contributed to ongoing public and professional debates about democracy and the authority of scientific knowledge in New Deal America.

Review
"Pandora has written a beautifully nuanced book about one particular episode in the nexus between ideas, politics, and science. It is an object lesson in how far the history of psychology has moved beyond the disciplinary obsessions and great-figure stories that contained scholarship in the past." Ellen Herman, Jrnl of Interdisciplinary History
This book should be on the shelves of anyone interested in the history of psychology" Isis
"...Pandora has produced a fine case study of the ways in which culture and science are constitutive of each other....Pandora has written a history that should be of interest to specialists as well as to historians of medicine and science." Joel Barslow, American Historical Review

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. During the 1930s, psychologists Gordon Allport, Gardner Murphy, and Lois Barclay Murphy emerged from the fields of social and personality psychology to challenge the neo-behavioralist status quo in American social science. Willing to experiment with the idea of 'science' itself, these 'rebels within the ranks' contested ascendent conventions that cast the study of human life in the image of classical physics. Drawing on the intellectual, social, and political legacies of William James' radically empiricist philosophy and radical Social Gospel theology, these three psychologists developed critiques of scientific authority and democratic reality as they worked at the crossroads of the social and the personal in New Deal America. Appropriating models from natural history, they argued for the significance of individuality, contextuality and diversity as scientific concepts as they explored what they envisioned as the nature of democracy, and the democracy of nature. This book examines the work of social and personality psychologists who in the 1930s criticized the increasingly restrictive vision of scientific life being promoted by neo-behaviouralist social scientists in the United States.
