In this incisive analysis of academic psychology, Gregg Henriques
examines the fragmented nature of the discipline and explains why
the field has had enormous difficulty specifying its subject matter
and how this has limited its ability to advance our knowledge of
the human condition. He traces the origins of the problem of
psychology to a deep and profound gap in our knowledge systems that
emerged in the context of the scientific Enlightenment. To address
this problem, this book introduces a new vision for scientific
psychology called mental behaviorism. The approach is anchored to a
comprehensive metapsychological framework that integrates insights
from physics and cosmic evolution, neuroscience, the cognitive and
behavioral sciences, developmental and complex adaptive systems
theory, attachment theory, phenomenology, and social
constructionist perspectives and is well grounded in the philosophy
of science. Building on more than twenty years of work in
theoretical psychology and drawing on a wide range of literature,
Professor Henriques shows how this new approach to scientific
knowledge fills in the gaps of our current understanding of
psychology and can allow us to develop a more holistic and
sophisticated way to understand animal and human mental behavioral
patterns. This work will especially appeal to students and scholars
of general psychology and theoretical psychology, as well as to
historians and philosophers of science.
