Issues and Debates

Psychology in Social Context: Issues and Debates provides a
critical perspective on debates and controversies that have divided
opinion within psychology both past and present. 

  • Explores the history of psychology through examples of classic
    and contemporary debates that have split the discipline and sparked
    change, including race and IQ, psychology and gender, ethical
    issues in psychology, parapsychology and the nature-nurture
    debate

  • Represents a unique approach to studying the nature of
    psychology by combining historical controversies with contemporary
    debates within the discipline

  • Sets out a clear view of psychology as a reflexive human
    science, embedded in and shaped by particular socio-historical
    contexts

  • Written in an accessible style using a range of pedagogical
    features - such as set learning outcomes, self-test questions, and
    further reading suggestions at the end of each chapter
