Description
Psychology in Social Context: Issues and Debates explores the history of psychology through debates that have shaped the discipline. Classic controversies such as race and IQ, psychology and gender, and ethical issues are examined alongside contemporary discussions within psychology. This book presents a unique approach to understanding psychology by combining historical debates with current issues. It sets out a clear view of psychology as a reflexive human science, influenced by its socio-historical context. The text is written in an accessible style, featuring learning outcomes, self-test questions, and further reading suggestions at the end of each chapter. By examining both past and present debates, Psychology in Social Context provides insight into the complexities of psychology and its role within society.
