Bringing
Society to Psychology
The British
Psychological Society's millenium slogan was Bringing Psychology to
Society.
For us the need is often the reverse - to bring an adequate
understanding of society to the discipline of psychology, so that it can
contribute to the struggle for social justice. A psychology that
is informed by an understanding of society could make sound contributions
to that society. Unfortuately much of the dominant psychology in
the english speaking world is profoundly agnostic about the society in
which it is situated.
