The book traces a series of key transformations: a switch from psychology identifying as a social science to a health science; the greater engagement of psychological scientists in the realms of self-help and public policy; and the overshadowing of cognitive science by theories of affect. These three transformations--in psychology's political economy, in its public engagement, and in its theories of the self--constitute distinct but interconnected areas of analysis for constructing a new history of the psychological society. Such a perspective offers a critical genealogy of the stakes and public face of psychology at a time when the provision of mental health services and the use of behavioral interventions to improve both personal and social well-being are acute matters of concern.
Michael Pettit received his PhD in history from the University of Toronto. He is currently a professor of Psychology at York University in Toronto, affiliated with their Historical, Theoretical, and Critical Studies of Psychology graduate area.
