Beskrivning
Much contemporary psychology is characterized by a natural science epistemology that overlooks the richness of human experience. This book offers a timely and necessary critique and emphasizes a conception of human beings as persons embedded in relationships, cultural groups, and historical contexts. Eva Magnusson and Jeanne Marecek provide strategies for critical reflective scrutiny of contemporary psychological theories and practices. Using 'styles of thinking' as one of their conceptual tools, they investigate whether, and how, theories, research methods, and debates across subfields such as cognition, language, and psychopathology take people's situatedness into account. The book gives readers practical guidance for conceptual analysis, and a set of questions for scrutinizing other subfields and practices. It also describes research methods and projects based on a view of humans as situated persons. The book offers both a philosophical foundation and a hands-on guide to a psychology with persons at its center.

Recensioner i media

'This book is an excellent guide to scientific thinking. The content is relevant for several scientific disciplines where human thoughts, feelings, experience, and behavior are focused. One such example could be nursing research. The last chapter contains very useful end questions, especially for doctoral students in development of scientific thinking.' Marianne Carlsson, Professor Emeritus of Caring Sciences, Uppsala University, Sweden
