- by Lloyd Vogelman, Adrian Perkel and Anna Strebel
This paper examines the structural and social base of mainstream psychology and argues that rather than abandon it, a process of professional introspection and structural modification is required. The development of "community" or "culture-specific" practice is criticised, as is the need to be apologetic for professional expertise. Instead, issues of accountability and relevance are addressed and recommendations are made regarding the future of South African psychology.
