Hepburn,
A. (2003). An Introduction to Critical Social Psychology. London: Sage.
This book is an introduction, overview and
critical evaluation of the field of critical social psychology. It emphasises how the field has been
structured by often-implicit assumptions about the nature of society and social
change, the nature of the person, and the nature of science. Its aim is to
provide readers with a systematic frame for understanding the value of a body
of work that is fast growing, but fragmented and often confused.
a very accessible introduction... lively
and engaging.... Discussion questions are uncharacteristically
thought-provoking, while practical exercises also seem better considered than
one comes to expect from similar primers, suggesting a successful future as a
core text in social psychology courses
The Psychologist
Erudition, sagacity, patience and
scholarship radiate from this book. This is an excellent introduction to the
various strands of critical thinking to emanate primarily from
Isaac Prilleltensky, Journal of Community and Applied Social Psychology
A serious attempt to provide an accessible,
integrated introduction to a historically contested field notorious for its
theoretical complexity and intellectual heterogeneity.
While the book covers a huge range of
complex theory, and must necessarily simply skim the surface, it does so in a
way that provides the reader with a clear map of the terrain, and all the tools
necessary to set out on further explorations. It remains remarkably accessible
given the material, and could usefully be prescribed for an advanced
undergraduate or postgraduate course. It also serves as a very useful
introduction and primer for anyone exploring the field.
In any event, this book provides an
excellent introduction to contemporary Critical Social Psychology, which anyone
exploring the field would do well to read.
