This comprehensive volume delves into profound and thought-provoking dialogues that critically examine the relationship between psychology and the prevailing neoliberal political context. Spanning a wide range of topics, from psychoanalysis to post-colonial theory, these far-reaching discussions explore how a heightened ethical sensitivity to human experiences and sociopolitical arrangements can re-energize the boundaries of psychological discourse. Recognizing that psychology thrives within the neoliberal terrain and plays a pivotal role in facilitating neoliberal expansion, the interviews featured in this book explore alternative avenues for how psychology can function. By offering their distinctive perspectives on the current state of their respective disciplines, these scholars critically assess the existing conceptual frameworks that shape the theoretical boundaries of psychology and contemplate the ethical responsibilities that currently impact the field. This book holds immense value for scholars and students across a diverse array of disciplines, including psychology, philosophy, ethics, post-colonial and socio-cultural studies, as well as practicing mental health professionals who are interested in the significance of psychological social theory.
