Diane Parker Books
Ian Parker is a British psychologist who has championed three distinct critical traditions within the discipline. His work serves as a vital guide for researchers seeking alternatives to mainstream, laboratory-based psychology. Parker's approach integrates discursive analysis, Marxist psychology, and psychoanalysis, all adapted to highlight the interplay of ideology and power. This distinctive method sparks vigorous debate, challenging both conventional psychologists and fellow critical scholars by persistently questioning each tradition through the lens of the others.
Drawing from personal experiences and everyday events, the author expresses a lifelong passion for poetry. This collection aims to share insights and emotions, inviting readers to connect with the moments that have influenced the poet's journey.
