"This unusual indispensable book lays bare critical psychology as a fully-fledged part of academic life. It is a primer with a difference; it links theory and practice in a way that out-flanks its host discipline, and, crucially, addresses the form as well as the content of mainstream psychology, showing teachers, students and practitioners what can be done to turn psychology into what it always promised to be, but can only become by being rigorously self-critical." Ian Parker, Emeritus Professor of Management, University of Leicester, UK
