“This book provides a penetrating, timely, and very accessible exploration of the deep and continuing right-wing political biases in mainstream psychology. I encourage practicing and research psychologists to read it.” (Fathali M. Moghaddam, Author of “How psychologists failed: We neglected the poor and minorities, favored the rich and privileged, and got science wrong”)

“The book enlightens in a classical-philosophical sense, interrogating unwarranted assumptions and postulates within the discipline. Brian Hughes encourages the reader to emerge from ignorance about psychology and its supposedly progressive agenda and corresponding politicized grievances. This profound work should be a required reading for all psychology students and beyond.” (Thomas Teo, York University, Toronto, Canada)

“This closely-argued book goes to the heart of contemporary psychology, providing a scathing review and critique of the discipline; it is an eminently useful introduction to what is wrong with psychology, giving us a marvellous insider account attuned to cultural-historical context.” (Ian Parker, Honorary Professor of Education, University of Manchester, UK)
