Levinas for Psychologists provides a rigorous, yet accessible,
examination of Emmanuel Levinas’s philosophy, and its
implications for Psychology and the Human and Social Sciences.
Comprehensive in scope, this book traces Levinas’s thought across
the arc of his oeuvre, from the earliest works to the last
interviews and essays. Laubscher provides numerous examples of how
Levinas’s thought challenges current clinical and
psychotherapeutic work, psychological theory, social science
research and social theory, but also offers promising alternatives.
Such alternative ways to think and practise psychology are richly
illuminated by accessible examples from therapy, research, and the
social everyday. The volume makes Levinas’s dense and demanding
philosophical language comprehensible and accessible, without
losing the radical, profound, and poetic qualities of the original.
Issues of justice, racism, and nature are addressed throughout, and
these insights and conclusions are placed within a contemporary
context. This book is essential reading for psychologists,
philosophers and anyone interested in the legacy of Levinas’s
work.

Introduction to Psychology as a Human Science gathers together the
disparate pieces of the story of psychology as a human science and
places this story into the broader history of science in general.
The book explains how psychology as a human science is linked to,
but distinctly different from, psychology as a natural science.
Students first learn how science, knowledge, and truth have been
framed since antiquity. Once they have become familiar with these
concepts, they are ready to examine the development of science
through the ages and see how psychology drew from this development.
They study the approaches of Freud and psychoanalysis, as well as
existential, humanistic, and transpersonal psychology. The book
also includes a chapter on social constructionism, and concludes by
revisiting some of its framing questions, such as how best to study
human beings, and what it may mean to characterize psychology as a
science. Introduction to Psychology as a Human Science responds to
three linked questions. How does each of the approaches view human
beings? What are the scientific assumptions of each approach, given
their view of human beings? What are the scientific methods and
procedures through which each approach gathers knowledge?
Intelligent and thought-provoking, the text is a unique choice for
introductory psychology courses including those that emphasize
research methods.
