Bernard Guerin

Turning Psychology into a Social Science

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book shows how everything we do is social and how research from social anthropology, sociolinguistics, and sociology can be integrated into a new form of psychology. It is part of a trilogy that offers a new way of doing psychology focusing on people's social environments as determining their behaviour, rather than internal attributions.
