Dialogues at the Edge of American Psychological Discourse

Critical and Theoretical Perspectives

About this book

This book explores the discipline of psychology through in-depth dialogues with scholarswho have lived at the turbulent edges of mainstream psychology in the USA, and who havechallenged the most cherished theoretical frameworks. It includes researchers whose work hasbeen widely esteemed in recent decades, but has ultimately not been taken up to reconstitutethe theoretical direction of the field. This volume chronicles perspectives from select scholarson the current states of their respective areas of the field, their understanding of how theirwork has been metabolized, and their concerns about the conceptual frames that currentlyset the theoretical boundaries of the discipline. These authors demand a reinterpretation ofthresholds to allow for a less monological emphasis in the adoption of particular frameworks, and to demonstrate historical, social, economic and political consequences of their chosenframeworks. The contents of the volume will assist theoreticians and clinicians in theirunderstanding of how particular kinds of knowledge are determined, accepted, andproduced in the field at large.
