seeks like-minded psychologists and others to help create a society better able to meet human needs and bring about social justice. We want to change society's unacceptable status quo and bring about a better world. And we want to change the status quo of psychology, too. We challenge psychology's traditional focus on minor reform, because enhancing human welfare demands fundamental social change instead. Moreover, psychology itself has too often oppressed people rather than liberated them. |
International Conference of Critical Psychology "Contesting
conflict, challenging consensus" |
RadPsyNet began in 1993 when two dozen people attended a conversation hour at an American Psychological Association convention. The topic: "Will Psychology Pay Attention to its Own Radical Critics?" We now have about 300 members in almost three dozen countries--psychologists & nonpsychologists, academics & practitioners, faculty & students, therapists & consumers-survivors. Many call themselves "radicals," or "critical psychologists," or "progressives." We don't demand a single definition. But we do share the goals noted above. Please tell others about us!
