Items related to Psychology - a Study of a Masquerade
Psychology as the field established at University today has, since its inception in the 19th Century, taken great pains to appear as a natural science. Manfred Velden shows that this did not lead to psychology being a quantitative science comparable to the natural sciences, but rather to a masquerade as one, i.e. applying natural scientific methodology without producing valid results. The application of this kind of science have not rarely been disastrous, for example in the context of immigration policy, compulsory sterilisation, access to University, or in the discussion about mental differences between races.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Since its inception as a field of science in the 19th century, psychology as it is now offered at universities has made great efforts to become a quantitative discipline on par with the natural sciences. Using a variety of different examples, Manfred Velden shows that this is all just a charade where scientific methods are employed without delivering any correspondingly reliable results. The impact of this kind of science has sometimes been downright disastrous; for example, in connection with immigration, forced sterilization, university admissions or the debate on racial differences. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9783899717792
