Psychology in Social Context by Philip John Tyson

Psychology in Social Context by Philip John Tyson

This text provides an accessible introduction to current thinking and key ideas relating to the field of critical psychology. It considers a variety of historical controversies in psychology and the ways in which the discipline is embedded within particular socio-historical contexts.

"These issues aside, this is a compelling and wide-ranging book that encourages the reader to look for the moral values and cultural assumptions at the heart of the apparently unbiased science that is psychology" (The Psychologist, 1 November 2011)

"Presenting important ideas about the ways that psychologists view the knowledge they generate, this book would be a good companion to a textbook based on the conventional hypothetical-deductive model of research. Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty." (Choice, 1 October 2011)
