Critical social psychology / edited by Tomas Ibanez and Lupicinio Iniguez. - London : SAGE, 1997. - x, 304p.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

This text on key theoretical, political & empirical developments brings together exponents in the field of social psychology to address the need for a critical perspective, & to combine the strands of discussion which have informed the critique. Much recent work in social psychology has questioned the assumptions and practices of traditional research and debate. Accessible and often passionately argued, this book pulls these new trends together in a major overview of the main theoretical, political and empirical developments. Assembling a group of leading figures in the field, the book addresses the need for a critical perspective in social psychology and examines the many levels of discussion that have informed that critique. The contributors encompass such key topics as: political analysis in a postmodern world; the status of qualitative methods; realism versus relativism; and the question of subjectivity from a critical perspective.
