This comprehensive review of the field of the rapidly expanding field of critical psychology will serve as the key resource for researchers, teachers and students. The book as a whole will define the scope of critical psychology. The individual chapters by leading and emerging scholars will plot the development of a critical perspective on different elements of the host discipline of psychology. The book addresses each separate special area of psychology, aspects of critical psychology that transcend the divisions between areas of research that mark the discipline, and the variety of cultural and political standpoints that now make critical psychology into a vibrant contested terrain of debate. The handbook will offer a state of the art account of critical psychology and an opening to the lines of argument that will take it forward in the years to come. It will serve as a key text for critical psychology on postgraduate and advanced undergraduate courses. It will be of particular interest to students and researchers in psychology, psycho-social studies, sociology, social anthropology and cultural studies, and to discourse analysts of different traditions including those in critical linguistics and political theory. It provides a cutting edge comprehensive coverage of the field of critical psychology that will appeal to researchers and practitioners across the whole of the discipline.
