Re-sizing Psychology in Public Policy and the Private Imagination

More about the book

Challenging the perception of Psychology as a legitimate science, the book critiques its effectiveness and its interactions with other disciplines. It highlights the often-overlooked role of Psychology in designing addictive technologies and its conservative regulation of normality and pathology. By examining how Psychology shapes our understanding of identity and subjectivity, the author argues that it promotes a view of the self as amoral and disconnected, ultimately questioning the discipline's established status in both academia and industry.
