Psychological Subjects: response
No TL;DR found
Abstract
I would like to thank all three reviewers for their generous and perceptive reflections on Psychological Subjects. As they recognize, this has been a challenging project, not just in terms of scope – it covers the period from 1900 to the 1970s, ranges from academic psychology to popular psychology, and contains chapters on economic life, healthcare, the Second World War, and the permissive society – but also conceptually. The result is not without its flaws and limitations; some of them highlighted by the reviewers. But the fact that the book has impressed them as opening up the subject in new ways does I hope go some way in compensation. In this response, I shall attempt to address the main issues raised in the three reviews.
