Originally published in 1988, in this personal review of the state
of academic psychology, Paul Kline draws attention to the way in
which his peers at the time studiously avoided such threatening
matters as human feelings and emotions, unconscious 'complexes' -
in short anything that could be called the human psyche. His
erudite, amusing, and provocative text outlines the crucial
influence of the development of scientific method before examining
key experiments within cognitive psychology and cognitive science,
psychometrics, social psychology, and animal behaviour. Is most of
experimental psychology trivial, redundant, and irrelevant? The
academic subject cannot continue to ignore its critics, he argued,
and must solve its problems by means of radical solutions. Whether
they support or refute Professor Kline's arguments, students and
professionals alike will still enjoy this original book.
