Much have been read and discuss on what is psychology. But, if you haven't read this this book, I am SURE that you don't know much about psychology. The book has been introduce to fellow masters in the classroom, though it is not easy to read like those psychology introductory textbook, I find it is far more interesting and insightful. Check
the book at Google Books if interested, they have some page previews.
Book overview
In recent years, a range of perspectives across psychology have challenged the experimental, positivist and cognitivist orientation that has dominated the field for so long. This critique of the mainstream has come out of a broad spectrum of theoretical influences, from phenomenology and symbolic interactionism to cultural and feminist approaches, and also takes in the new emphasis on discourse.
Rethinking Psychology overviews these developments. The outstanding international contributors have produced a coherent and wide-ranging guide to the key strands of theory, showing how they feed into the debate about the creation of a new psychology.
