{"product_id":"9781785355950","title":"The Off-Modern: Psychology Estranged","description":"Society is undergoing a process of deep change and transformation as the neoliberal order moves into crisis. Contemporary psychology, mired in exceptionalism and individualism, fails to address this broader context and continues with a fragmented reductionist approach which is alienating to students and practitioners alike. In the lifetime of the discipline there have been several distinct frameworks to emerge - psychoanalytic, behaviourist and cognitive. To these one might add Kelly’s Personal Construct Theory as the last attempt to present a coherent and challenging framework for how to understand our lives. As society moves into a new phase, Ron Roberts argues the need for a new way of ‘doing’ psychology which challenges not only the existing epistemological and reductionist outlook, but the centrality of a scientific professional discourse as a suitable vehicle for improving lives and making sense of the world.","brand":"Hunt, John Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032629199088,"sku":"9781785355950","price":23.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781785355950_p0.jpg?v=1769892717","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781785355950","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
