Books in the Advances in Theoretical and Philosophical Psychology series

By revealing underlying assumptions that influence the field of psychology, this book challenges psychologists to reconsider the origins of ideas they may take as psychological truths

This volume explores the abiding intellectual inertia in scientific psychology in relation to the discipline's engagement with problematic beliefs and assumptions underlying mainstream research practices, despite repeated critical analysis which reveal the weaknesses, and some cases complete inappropriateness, of these methods.
