Constructing Scientific Psychology, published in 1999, was the
first full-scale interpretation of the life and work of the major
American neuropsychologist Karl Lashley. It sets Lashley's research
at the heart of two controversies that polarized the American life
and human sciences in the first half of the twentieth century.
These concerned the relationship between 'mind' and 'brain' and the
relative roles of 'nature' and 'nurture' in shaping behaviour and
intelligence. The book explodes the myth of Lashley's
neuropsychology as a fact-driven, 'pure' science by arguing that a
belief in the power of heredity and a nativist and deeply
conservative racial ideology informed every aspect of his theory
and practice.
