Psychologists on Psychology (Psychology Press & Routledge Classic Editions)
by David CohenThis is a Classic Edition of David Cohen’s unique collection of interviews with eminent psychologists, first published in 1977. The book presents conversations with thirteen of the world’s great psychologists, who dominated the subject from 1950 to 1980, and who shaped psychology as we know it today. Those interviewed include Burrhus Skinner, Donald Broadbent, Hans Eysenck and also R.D Laing, Noam Chomsky, and Niko Tinbergen. This classic edition contains a newly written introduction which contextualises the interviews as a critique and diagnosis of the problems of contemporary psychology in the mid 1970’s. Together, the interviews cover a broad range of approaches, and the lively debates about theory, practice and what it means to be human which were occurring at that time. The book shows the different approaches each psychologist has to the subject and why, in terms of background, education, experimental research and personal preference, they came to the positions they hold. The classic edition of Psychologists on Psychology provides an astute, critical snapshot of psychology at that time. It will be of great interest to anyone with an interest in psychology, the history of psychology, and the history of ideas.
A Psychologist's Proactive Guide to Managed Mental Health Care
by Alan J. Kent Michel HersenA Psychologist's Proactive Guide to Managed Mental Health Care offers a concise overview of the evolution of managed mental health care and its impact on the working lives of clinical and counseling psychologists. Although many books explore the ramifications of managed care for psychotherapy, this is the first to take a broad perspective and examine the ways in which the new health care delivery system is affecting all aspects of practice--not just treatment but also assessment and training--as well as mental health research. The authors include some of the country's most noted psychologists with extensive experience in managed care. Their tone is optimistic rather than pessimistic; as they look at developments others have only deplored, they see potential roles and opportunities for growth for psychologists. In an era of dramatic health change, all those practitioners who are concerned about how to make managed care work for them rather than against them, will find this Guide essential reading.

Psychology: Debates and Controversies
by Parul BansalPsychology: Debates and Controversies is about the contested nature of psychology, one of the most fascinating and important disciplines on the formation of human subjectivity. The book delves into critical debates over numerous key questions. Is psychology a natural science or a social science? Why is quantification and experimental logic so central to psychology? What kind of paradigmatic shift does qualitative research in psychology require? How does one understand an 'individual in context'? How does psychology understand the gendered basis of subjectivity? What does the medical model tell us about normality and abnormality? The book reflects upon and interrupts the dominant theories of psychology as told by academic and professional psychologists. It then aids in re-envisioning psychology along pathways that are different from the mainstream. Rather than asking the question 'which perspective is more valid?', the work strives to raise the question 'what is it valid for', which focuses the attention on the ideological ends and goals of different discourses of psychology. Key Features: • Exposes the ideological nature of mainstream scientific psychology • Critically interrogates the images of 'mind', 'individual', 'gender', 'social', 'cultural' that mainstream psychology offers • Reforms psychology along diverse epistemological and methodological lines of enquiry • Presents the salient debates in psychology in a dialogical and argumentative manner to encourage readers to become curious and seek more answers • Gathers, analyzes and re-presents the diverse strands of psychological thought available for a set of core issues under one title
