`Do read this book - it will refresh you if you have not come
across critical psychology before. If you are already "critical",
this is an excellent, up-to-date overview of the area' - THE (Times
Higher Education) 'An excellent book in all respects - compulsory
reading for scholars interested in a socio-political contextual
analysis of complex human behaviour' - Professor David F Marks,
City University, London 'The arrival of a Second Edition of this
classic is an exciting event. The editors have assembled a world
class array of authors to bring students to the forefront of
critical scholarship today. Adding to the work's lustre are fresh
new chapters on critical social issues, along with a set of new
pedagogical aids. Bravo!' - Kenneth J. Gergen, Senior Research
Professor, Swarthmore College The Second Edition of Critical
Psychology extends the original's comprehensive and accessible
critique of mainstream psychology. Fully revised, reconfigured and
expanded, the Second Edition explores critical psychology's
continued growth and diversification, offering practical advice,
and noting significant theoretical and political dilemmas
confronting critical psychologists today. While other texts focus
on narrower specialties within critical psychology or on specific
theoretical or methodological perspectives, Critical Psychology
retains its focus on critical psychology as a whole. Key features
of the new edition include: - each chapter now also includes a
summary of main points, a glossary of important terms, suggested
readings and Internet sites, and questions for discussion - the
book's contributors - most of them new - have thoroughly updated
the original chapters and provide multiple perspectives on critical
psychology's core concerns - reflecting recent developments, Parts
Three and Four are completely new to this edition. Part Three
provides in-depth coverage of critical psychology's relevance to
social justice, focusing on the issues of race, class, gender,
disability, colonization/globalization, human rights/social justice
in post-conflict settings, and oppression/empowerment in mental
health systems. Part Four examines critical psychology practice,
from theory, methodology and therapy to community organizing and
the politics of resistance.
