This edited volume may be the 'definitive text' on methods and content in teaching psychology from an international and critical perspective. Chapters from internationally renowned contributors working clinically, educationally and in the community with a range of client groups, outline critical teaching by and for professionals and service recipients.
This timely book offers a unique, research-based and philosophically coherent approach to teaching psychology including teaching methods, the lecture content of radical approaches to modern psychology and debates as to whether the aim of teaching is to liberate or control. Themes include the nature of pedagogy, the importance of teaching and learning style, the relevance of context and content and the ways in which traditional teaching forms a part of the disciplinary rather than critical project.
Teaching Critical Psychology offers guidance in teaching pupils, students, peers and those on academic programmes at under-graduate and post-graduate level.

This unusual indispensable book lays bare critical psychology as a fully-fledged part of academic life. It is a primer with a difference; it links theory and practice in a way that out-flanks its host discipline, and, crucially, addresses the form as well as the content of mainstream psychology, showing teachers, students and practitioners what can be done to turn psychology into what it always promised to be, but can only become by being rigorously self-critical.
