This book highlights the importance of Ludwig Wittgenstein's
writings on psychology and psychological phenomena for the
historical development of contemporary psychology. It presents an
insightful assessment of the philosopher's work, particularly his
later writings, which draws on key interpretations that have
informed our understanding of metapsychological and psychological
issues. Wittgenstein's Philosophy in Psychology engages with both
critics and followers of the philosopher's work to demonstrate its
enduring relevance to psychology today. Sullivan presents a novel
examination of Wittgenstein's later writings by providing
historical detail about the uptake, understanding and use of
Wittgenstein's remarks and method in psychology and related areas
of social science, examining persistent sources of conceptual
confusion and showing how to apply his insights in investigations
of collectives, social life, emotions, subjectivity, and
development. In doing so, he reveals the value for psychologists in
adopting a philosophical method of conceptual investigation to work
through and become more reflexive about prominent theories,
methods, therapies and practices in their respective, multiple
fields and thereby create a resource for future theoretical,
empirical and applied psychologists. This work will be of
particular relevance to students and academics engaged in the
history of psychology and to practitioners interested in
understanding the continued importance of Wittgenstein's work
within the practices of psychology.
