"In this text, the author discusses the political and social implications of psychological research, and brings to light fundamental trends as well as philosophical underpinnings of psychological theory. Its synoptic approach will be useful for students trying to bring together the various areas of psychological knowledge, for psychologists looking at broad trends within their discipline, and for the reader with an interest in psychology as a whole."--BOOK JACKET.
