This is the first dedicated text to explain and explore the utility
of critical realism for psychologists, offering it as a helpful
middle ground between positivism and postmodernism. By introducing
its basic concepts, Pilgrim explains critical realism to
psychologists and shows how the interface between the natural and
social worlds, and the internal and external, can be used to
examine human life. This both/and aspect of human life is important
in another sense: we are both determined and determining beings,
making choices but within the material constraints of both our
bodies and the social context of our unique existence. The book
offers an exploration of academic and applied psychology with that
inward and outward curiosity in mind, beginning with the premise
that both inner and outer reality are the legitimate interest of
psychologists. In doing so, it shows how critical realism endorses
the remaining advantages of positivism and postmodernism, while
discarding their philosophical errors. A range of case studies are
presented to show how psychologists can use critical realism when
working with real life problems, as researchers or practitioners.
