This century has been characterised by a strong and pervasive belief in certainty through science but particularly since the 1960s there has been widespread disaffection with traditional approaches in psychology, indeed talk of ‘crisis’ has been endemic. This unit therefore will introduce students to the work of critical psychological scholarship, which demonstrates the relevance of a ‘critical psychology’ in the understanding of current social issues.
