Stenner Paul - Psychology Without Foundations History Philosophy And Psychosocial Theory - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: For many years for many people social psychology has been deemed a discipline in crisis. This new book proposes a way out of the crisis by letting go of the idea that psychology needs new foundations or a new identity whether biological discursive or cognitive. The psychological is not narrowly confined to any one aspect of human experience; it is quite literally everywhere. The book proposes a strong process - oriented approach to the psychological which studies events or occasions. Aspects of experience such as communication or embodiment are treated as thoroughly mediated - the product of multiple intersecting relationships between the biological the psychic and the social. The outcome is an image of a mobile reflexively founded discipline which follows the psychological wherever it takes us from the depths of embodiment to the complexities of modern global politics.
