Since the early 1970s, social psychology has been in crisis. At the
time Reconstructing Social Psychology (Armistead) provided a
critical review of theories and assumptions in the discipline.
Originally published in 1990, this title not only updates that
review but illustrates the ways in which assumptions had changed at
the time. The crisis is no longer seen as one which can be resolved
within social psychology itself, but rather as one more deeply
rooted in modern society. The contributors look at the issues
raised by deconstruction in the other human sciences, as well as
investigating the claims made by social psychology as a discipline.
They examine the rhetoric and texts of social psychology, analysing
how the texts which hold the discipline together obtain their
power. The arguments include the political implications of
deconstructive ideas, focusing on particular issues such as
research, therapy and feminism. Deconstructing Social Psychology
presents a strong selection of new critical writing in social
psychology. It will still be a useful text for students of
psychology, social science, and sociology, and for those working in
the area of language.
