Wie kam es zur Kritischen Psychologie? Im Zuge der Studierendenrevolte und weiterer sozialer Bewegungen (Antipsychiatrie, Frauenbewegung u. a.) formierte sich an verschiedenen Orten der Welt eine radikale Ideologie- und Funktionskritik der Psychologie. Dies mündete in wirkmächtige Projekte einer kritisch-reflexiven Psychologie als Wissenschaft und professionelle Praxis, darunter die an der FU Berlin von einer Gruppe um Klaus Holzkamp entwickelte Kritische Psychologie. Sie verknüpft Theoriekritik mit dem programmatischen Anspruch, der psychologischen Kontroll- und Legitimationswissenschaft...

In this volume, Klaus Holzkamp and his colleagues provide a coherent and broadly elaborated description of Critical Psychology--a theory of the evolution of the social constitution of human consciousness and forms of mental activity--which has been in development in Germany for more than twenty years and constitutes a radical critique and reconstruction of scientific psychology from a dialectical and historical- materialistic point of view. Its aim is to provide a firmer foundation than presently exists for a psychology that is methodologically sound, practically relevant, and theoretically...

Challenges to received notions of psychological theory and practice have been on the increase in recent years.

Drawing on the work of leading figures such as...

Positivism needs further scrutiny. In recent years, there has been little consensus about the nature of positivism or about the precise forms its influence has taken on psychological theory. One symptom of this lack of clarity has been that ostensibly anti-positivist psychological theorizing is frequently found reproducing one or more distinctively positivist assumptions. The contributors to this volume believe that, while virtually every theoretically engaged psychologist today openly rejects positivism in both its 19th century and 20th century forms, it is indispensable to look at...
