Zugriff:
"Questioning Psychology: Beyond Theory and Control" by Brian E. Levitt is a book that challenges the dominant belief systems in psychology and explores the ethics and practice of psychological helping. Levitt argues that these belief systems dehumanize the people with whom psychologists work. The book is organized into three parts, covering topics such as the limitations of scientific research, the dehumanizing effects of personality theories and diagnoses, and the need for self-awareness and reflection in psychological practice. Levitt emphasizes the importance of questioning everything, including ourselves, in order to provide ethical and respectful care. [Extracted from the article]
