A critique of psychology that examines the foundations of critical and feminist psychology. It appeals to psychologists to re-think the central problems of social psychology, and argues that individual-society dualism leads to racist and sexist reductionism. The text uses examples from the social psychology of racism, cognitive psychology, job/worker assessment, role theory, and developmental psychology.
