Description
Themes, Issues and Debates in Psychology presents an integrated view of the discipline by exploring its underlying themes, issues, and debates. This critical approach challenges traditional assumptions about human nature and how it can be studied using scientific methods.
The text draws on theories and methodologies from a range of disciplines, including philosophy, biology, anthropology, and sociology, to provide a comprehensive understanding of Psychology. It also includes chapters on Parapsychology, Positive Psychology, and Religion and Spirituality, which are often not found together in a single text.
This fifth edition of the book reflects a new concern with decolonizing the curriculum, incorporating discussions of cultural and gender-based issues throughout the text to offer a critical perspective on topics such as political and scientific colonialism.
