This book interrogates the current reputation of Psychology, both
as an industry and as part of the academy. It disputes Psychology's
claim to be a science, questions its claims to effectiveness and
examines relationships with other disciplines and fields. Just as
Psychology's role in the design of addictive gaming machines has
been underplayed so too has the conservative aspect of its
regulation of normality and pathology. The discipline of Psychology
affects our understanding of identity and subjectivity to position
the self as amoral and disconnected. This book questions this
assumption and, more generally, the received status of Psychology.
