Psychology and Society cover

This book brings together contributors from different countries, covering a wide range of social science and social welfare traditions within psychology: from behaviourism to psychoanalysis.

This cutting-edge and controversial collection of essays tackles many of the crises facing both radical politics and psychology in the light of multifarious 'post' debates. Providing a lucid overview and keen discussion, this collection contextualises developments at the interface between politics and psychology within a historical materialist framework, and connects the political practice of radicals in psychology with perspectives for change in contemporary Marxism.

This radical volume creates a unique site for psychologists on the left to explore key issues in a changing political climate.

'An impressive attempt to reclaim Marxism for psychology, and to collect together some of the best recent work in this tradition' -- Psychology in Society
'Serves to introduce undergraduate students to important, but neglected, traditions' -- Journal of the History of Behavioural Science
