This is a critical, personalized approach to reframing the discipline
of psychology through a singular narrative in the form of a memoir
written by a successful research psychologist. In this book we follow
Martin’s unique career, which has allowed him to understand and
adopt different perspectives and ways of approaching psychology, from
working in applied areas like educational and counseling psychology to
more specialized areas like theory and history of psychology. His
journey through and within the field describes his movement away from
scientifically based psychology, which views teachings and
interventions to be primarily underwritten by hard scientific
evidence. Martin exposes the flaws in this approach and highlights the
importance of focusing on the study of persons in their life contexts
over the use of aggregated group results to ensure that the discipline
survives and flourishes. This is an impactful and universally
applicable book with valuable insights for students and scholars of
psychology today, particularly those studying history of psychology,
theoretical psychology, and philosophical psychology.
