This accessible text introduces the key elements of a discursive
approach to psychology. This focuses on how discourse - naturally
occurring talk and text - can be studied and understood as the
accomplishment of social action. Building on discourse analysis,
the authors present an integrated discursive action model which
leads to a radical reworking of some of psychology's most central
concepts - language, cognition, truth, knowledge and reality. The
implications of a discursive perspective for such topics are
explored alongside a sustained argument against the
perceptual-cognitivist emphasis that currently dominates
psychology. A particular theme is the reconceptualization of memory
and attribution. The authors examine the communicative and
interactional work performed when individuals, with interests,
describe and explain past events, construct factual reports and
attribute mental states. They draw on a wide range of empirical
materials to demonstrate the methods and analysis underpinning
their approach. Reframing fundamental issues of language and mind
as social practices realized in discourse, Discursive Psychology
offers a profound challenge to existing orthodoxies while also
establishing an exciting new agenda in the social and human
sciences.
