Handbook of Critical Psychology Critical psychology has developed over time from different standpoints, and in different cultural contexts, embracing a variety of perspectives This cutting-edge and comprehensive handbook values and reflects this diversity of approaches to critical psychology today, providing a definitive state-of-the-art account of the field and an opening to the lines of argument that will take it forward in the years to€come The individual chapters by leading and emerging scholars plot the development of a critical perspective on different elements of the host discipline of psychology The book begins by systematically addressing each separate specialist area of psychology, before going on to consider how aspects of critical psychology transcend the divisions that mark the discipline.The final part of the volume explores the variety of cultural and political standpoints that have made critical psychology such a vibrant contested terrain of debate The Handbook of Critical Psychology represents a key resource for researchers and practitioners across all relevant disciplines It will be of particular interest to students and researchers in psychology, psychosocial studies, sociology, social anthropology, and cultural studies, and to discourse analysts of different traditions, including those in critical linguistics and political theory
