描述
This groundbreaking book shows how we can build a better understanding
of people by merging psychology with the social sciences. It is part of a
trilogy that offers a new way of doing psychology focusing on peopleâs
social and societal environments as determining their behaviour rather than
internal and individualistic attributions.
Putting the âsocialâ properly back into psychology Bernard Guerin turns
psychology inside out to offer a more integrated way of thinking about and
researching people. Going back 60 years of psychologyâs history to the
âcognitive revolutionâ Guerin argues that psychology made a mistake and
demonstrates in fascinating new ways how to instead fully contextualize the
topics of psychology and merge with the social sciences. Covering perception
emotion language thinking and social behaviour the book seeks to
guide readers to observe how behaviours are shaped by their social cultural
economic patriarchal colonized historical and other contexts. Our brain
neurophysiology and body are still involved as important interfaces but
human actions do not originate inside of people so we will never fi nd the
answers in our neurophysiology. Replacing the internal origins of behaviour
with external social contextual analyses the book even argues that thinking
is not done by you âin your headâ but arises from our external social cultural
and discursive worlds.
Offering a refreshing new approach to better understand how humans
operate in their social cultural economic discursive and societal worlds
rather than inside their heads and how we might have to rethink our
approaches to neuropsychology as well this is fascinating reading for
students in psychology and the social sciences.
