Questioning Psychology

What gets in the way of our understanding other people? So asks psychologist Brian Levitt in this challenging and reflective book questioning much that is taken for granted in his profession. Levitt argues that we must keep questioning our training and beliefs if we are to see people better. Here, he deconstructs the foundational concepts of psychology and, drawing on his 25 years as a person-centred practitioner in a range of settings, helps us to look at them with fresh eyes. His book offers both young and more seasoned psychologists a refreshing alternative to conventional clinical texts with its message to look beyond theory and control and respect the complexity of the people we meet in our work.
