Psychology and the Question of Agency

Psychology and the Question of Agency

Jack Martin; Jeff Sugarman; Janice Thompson

State University of New York Press
2003
sidottu
Looks at the limits of free will in human action.Disciplinary psychology has failed to achieve a coherent conception of human agency. Instead, it oscillates between two differing conceptions of agency that are equally untenable: a scientistic, reductive approach to choice and action, and an instrumental approach that celebrates a romantic notion of free will. This book examines theoretical, philosophical psychology and argues for a historically and socioculturally situated human capacity for choosing and acting in ways not entirely determined by culture and/or biology. The authors present a detailed developmental theory of how agentic capability emerges from the pre-reflective activity of humans in a real physical and social world. Implications of the theory are considered for psychological research and practice, and for the broader socio-political impact of disciplinary psychology in Western liberal democracies.

Persons: Understanding Psychological Selfhood and Agency

Persons: Understanding Psychological Selfhood and Agency

Jack Martin; Jeff H. Sugarman; Sarah Hickinbottom

Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
2009
sidottu
At its core, psychology is about persons: their thinking, their problems, the improvement of their lives. The understanding of persons is crucial to the discipline. But according to this provocative new book, between current essentialist theories that rely on biological models, and constructionist approaches based on sociocultural experience, the concept of the person has all but vanished from psychology. Persons: Understanding Psychological Selfhood and Agency recasts theories of mind, behavior, and self, synthesizing a range of psychologists and philosophers to restore the centrality of personhood—especially the ability to make choices and decisions—to the discipline. The authors’ unique perspective de-emphasizes method and formula in favor of moral agency and life experience, reveals frequently overlooked contributions of psychology to the study of individuals and groups, and traces traditions of selfhood and personhood theory, including: The pre-psychological history of personhood, a developmental theory of situated, agentive personhood, the political disposition of self as a kind of understanding, Human agency as a condition of personhood, Emergentist theories in psychology, the development of the perspectival self. Persons represents an intriguing new path in the study of the human condition in our globalizing world. Researchers in developmental, social, and clinical psychology as well as social science philosophers will find in these pages profound implications not only for psychology but also for education, politics, and ethics.

The Psychology of Human Possibility and Constraint

The Psychology of Human Possibility and Constraint

Jack Martin; Jeff Sugarman

State University of New York Press
1999
pokkari
Resolves the fundamental debate between cognitivists and social constructionists concerning the metaphysics of human psychology, and offers new insights into therapy, education, and creativity. This book addresses one of the most enduring debates within psychology, namely, the conflicting claims of those who adopt an individual, cognitivist perspective and those who adopt a social, culturalist perspective. The authors examine this debate and provide fresh insights that permit the bridging of traditional dualisms between self and society with respect to the subject matter of psychology, and between scientism and relativism with respect to knowledge about this subject matter.

Kyle was an intelligent, easy going young man, fresh out of college and ready to join his father in the family business. For all his friends and companions, he'd never met someone to love and had simply accepted that he never would. In one moment it all changed when he heard Anna laugh. That laughter and the love that immediately followed was the answer to a lifelong question he'd never even known how to ask. And then, for reasons beyond either one's control, lies brought it all down. The first tragedy was her disappearance and then another that struck closer to home. The lies in his own family and the betrayal by his brother left him alone, cold, and isolated from the world and people around him. An unlikely kinship with his drunken aunt, his office manager and an elderly resort owner gave him his only sense of stability through a five-year drought as he worked through the fog. Along the way, he tasted success and fame of an entirely unexpected nature in Olympic competition, but through all the months and years, his heart stayed with Anna - the only woman who had ever pierced that dark veil over his heart. Kyle was destined to be alone, or with Anna, and there was no middle ground.
