Synopsis

Rethinking Psychology is a coherent guide to the overturning of the mainstream experimental, positivist, and cognitive perspectives in psychology, and the exciting developments being offered in their place. An international team of contributors has come together to provide an overview of the broad-ranging theoretical influences--from phenomenology to feminism and many others. This diversity is a reflection of the multifaceted new paradigm and allows researchers and students who have been influenced by the large amount of critical psychology being written to see how an alternative approach to psychology works. This internationally respected group of contributors has come together to produce an essential volume of these exciting developments. As such, Rethinking Psychology will be an invaluable text for all academics, scholars, and students in psychology, as well as language and discourse analysis.
