Originally published in 1996, and now with a new preface, Growing
Critical is an introduction to critical psychology, focusing on
development. It takes a fresh look at infancy, childhood and
adulthood and makes the startling claim that ‘development’ does
not exist. John R. Morss guides the reader from the early critical
movements of the 1970s which gave rise to the ‘social
construction of development’ through the wide range of more
recent approaches. He looks in turn at Vygotsky’s ‘social
context of development’, Harré’s ‘social constructionism’,
Marxist critique of developmental psychology, psychoanalytic
interpretations of development, and finally post-structuralist
approaches following Foucault and Derrida. He surveys the range of
alternative positions in the critical psychology of development and
evaluates the achievements of Newman and Holzman, Broughton,
Tolman, Walkerdine and others. Marxism, psychoanalysis and
post-structuralism – as well as such movements as feminism –
challenge our understanding of human development. Morss looks
beyond the laboratory to Marx and Freud, to Lacan and Foucault.
What sets Growing Critical apart from orthodox psychology is the
seriousness with which he has thought through the implications of
these challenges. Contemporary and ‘reader-friendly’, Growing
Critical will be of value to both undergraduate and advanced
students, as well as to anyone interested in human development, in
psychology, sociology or education.
