Psychology Exposed (Psychology Revivals)

<p>Originally published in 1988 in this personal review of the state of academic psychology Paul Kline draws attention to the way in which his peers at the time studiously avoided such threatening matters as human feelings and emotions unconscious ‘complexes’ – in short anything that could be called the human psyche. His erudite amusing and provocative text outlines the crucial influence of the development of scientific method before examining key experiments within cognitive psychology and cognitive science psychometrics social psychology and animal behaviour. Is most of experimental psychology trivial redundant and irrelevant? The academic subject cannot continue to ignore its critics he argued and must solve its problems by means of radical solutions. Whether they support or refute Professor Kline’s arguments students and professionals alike will still enjoy this original book.</p>
