A Place for Everything, and Everything in Its Place
Radford, John
Psychology Teaching Review, v14 n2 p58-61 2008
Sixteen papers on the general theme of the "place" of psychology, particularly in higher education, arose from the author's paper "Psychology in its place." Several themes emerge from the disparate contributions. The author discusses two papers which directly comment on his original one, the papers of John Newland and Tom Dickins. Psychology in the political context, and the nature of Psychology as a discipline, are two issues raised in the papers. There are several more, variously discussed by different authors. And of course individual authors also raise unique points. The author opines that the most general matter concerns the nature of higher education, and what should be its aims. The author also discusses other issues raised, namely the content of psychology degrees, and "psychology for all". He argues that psychology is, in principle and often in practice, relevant to virtually every aspect of life, from day-to-day interaction with others to major world problems of war, famine, disease and so on.
