Abstract: | On both historical and principled grounds, the author has long argued that psychology cannot be a single or coherent discipline, whether conceived in scientific or sui generis terms. Instead, the desirability of renaming psychology as the psychological studies has been argued. The present article is a synoptic review of the basis for such a position and its entailments for the future. These are seen to be rather inviting ones for all competent persons engaged in psychological inquiry. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
