Ian Parker has been a leading light in the fields of critical and
discursive psychology for over 25 years. The Psychology After
Critique series brings together for the first time his most
important papers. Each volume in the series has been prepared by
Ian Parker, features a newly written introduction and presents a
focused overview of a key topic area. Psychology After the Crisis
is the first volume in the series and addresses three important
questions: What was the crisis in psychology and why does it
continue now? How did debates regarding the traditional 'laboratory
experiment' paradigm in psychology set the scene for discourse
analysis? Why are these paradigm debates now crucial for
understanding contemporary critical psychology? The first two
chapters of the book describe the way critical psychology emerged
in Britain during the 1970s, and introduce four key theoretical
resources: Marxism, Feminism, Post-Structuralism and
Psychoanalysis. The chapters which follow consider in depth the
critical role of Marxist thinking as an analytic framework within
psychology. Subsequent chapters explore the application and
limitations of critical psychology for crucial topics such as
psychotherapy, counselling and climate change. A final chapter
presents an interview which reviews the main strands within
critical psychology, and provides an accessible introduction to the
series as a whole. Psychology After the Crisis is essential reading
for students and researchers in psychology, sociology, social
anthropology and cultural studies, and for discourse analysts of
different traditions. It will also introduce key ideas and debates
in critical psychology for undergraduates and postgraduate students
across the social sciences.
