Very proud to see the publication of our book today. We dismantle many of the assumptions underlying Psychology’s research methods and highlight the shaky foundations of the discipline. Hang on tight! We do, also, propose a way forward.
It's publication day for my book with @craigspeelman.bsky.social!
"The Great Psychology Delusion" is an unsentimental look at the conceptual mess of psychology, and how to improve.
