Turning Psychology into Social Contextual Analysis (Exploring the Environmental and Social Foundations of Human Behaviour)

This groundbreaking book, "Merging Psychology with the Social Sciences," offers a revolutionary approach to understanding human behavior by putting the 'social' back into psychology.

By merging psychology with the social sciences, this book provides a more integrated way of thinking about and researching people, rather than focusing solely on internal and individualistic attributions.

The author, Bernard Guerin, argues that psychology made a mistake 60 years ago by neglecting the social context of behavior and demonstrates new ways to fully contextualize topics in psychology and merge with the social sciences.

This book covers perception, emotion, language, thinking, and social behavior, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of how behaviors are shaped by their social, cultural, economic, patriarchal, colonized, historical, and other contexts.

The author challenges the traditional view that our brain, neurophysiology, and body are the sources of human actions and instead argues that thinking arises from external social, cultural, and discursive worlds.

This refreshing new approach offers a fascinating read for students in psychology and the social sciences, and may even require rethinking our approaches to neuropsychology.
