This book explores the discipline of psychology through in-depth
dialogues with scholars who have lived at the turbulent edges of
mainstream psychology in the USA, and who have challenged the most
cherished theoretical frameworks. It includes researchers whose work
has been widely esteemed in recent decades, but has ultimately not
been taken up to reconstitute the theoretical direction of the field.
This volume chronicles perspectives from select scholars on the
current states of their respective areas of the field, their
understanding of how their work has been metabolized, and their
concerns about the conceptual frames that currently set the
theoretical boundaries of the discipline. These authors demand a
reinterpretation of thresholds to allow for a less monological
emphasis in the adoption of particular frameworks, and to demonstrate
historical, social, economic and political consequences of their
chosen frameworks. The contents of the volume will assist
theoreticians and clinicians in their understanding of how particular
kinds of knowledge are determined, accepted, and produced in the
field at large.
