First published in 1964 "Psychology and Social Problems" looks
at a changing society and research into problems of the time. Many
of the themes in the book, such as delinquency, mental health and
racial conflict and are still familiar and current topics of
discussion today.
Social scientists had carried out extensive research into
problems of urgent public concern, yet their findings were not
widely known or understood and they had often been diffident in
advocating policies based on their conclusions. Michael Argyle
discussed the recent psychological and social research bearing on
the origins of aggression, delinquency, mental disorder, racial and
international prejudice, and industrial discontent; he went on to
consider the implications of these studies for prevention and
control and for the guidance of social change. This sophisticated
and well-documented critique is presented with such lucidity and
verve that it will appeal equally to laymen and to students and
professional workers and can now be enjoyed in its historical
context.
