Critical Psychology An Introduction

With the due respect, I would not recommend this book. I found it highly rhetoric with little application to 'real life' issues.

In fact, one of my first thought that comes into my mind when I read this book, was about the permanent critique to 'those in power' without any concrete identification? The critique is repeated over and over again in almost every chapter .

Are not the authors 'those in power'? Who is actually paying their wages? are not the the oppressors'? Is it ethical?

Sitting in thousands of sterling pounds, dollars or Euros, many critical psychologists criticize' our unfair society'. Some authors even talk about the unfair economic distribution, but I did not read a chapter where the author considered that he/she was receiving too much money in comparison to those 'oppressed' and 'marginalised' by the system, and later request a reduction in their wages.

do the authors really think that by publishing a paper in a journal or a book like this will change the system? Every little do not help to fill empty stomachs

Do critical psychologists think that a paper read by 'an elite' of white collars academics will change our unfair society?

Last but not least, are the authors part of 'those in power'? Are they not a privileged group?

Coherence between what the authors said and do would be desirable. Dr Alberto Corizzo drupal 20101230
