Create a flyer for "An Introduction to Critical Social Psychology"

This book offers an overview of several alternative perspectives on social psych research.

I find Hepburn's book really has all the different angles of critiques towards mainstream psychology covered and I like her style of presentation. She explains the sometimes rather difficult concepts (e.g. of Marxism) well and the chapters are exactly the right length to assign as introductory readings, say when one needs to cover topics such as discourse analysis. The information 'blurbs' are succint and helpful and I think the recommended practical exercises really help to get the critical out of the armchair.

Alexa Hepburn has produced an accessible text for students to help them to understand critical approaches within and beyond social psychology. The book employs humour effectively to engage the reader and offers a range of useful concrete examples that students can use to explore theoretical perspectives. I like the 'best and worse things about' chapter summaries and the way that the reading suggestions are laid out with the added contextualisation. The author makes some challenging concepts accessible and engaging and I would wholeheartedly recommend this text.

Alexa Hepburn has produced a fascinating discourse on the relativist nature of reality and empriricism as it applies to psychology. She analyses the complex links between culture, politics, knowledge and power, and I would have liked to see this then expanded out to include a deeper discussion on the impact this has for our understanding of how these factors relate to clinical work

Great book for studens that provides a good overview of a critical perspective within Psychology.

This book contains an excellent review of the more pressing & contemporanous issues encountered within the discipline of Social Psychology. Myself & a colleague have recommended this to 100 students (on 2 separate undergraduate modules) for purchase.
