Teaching psychology critically

We have both spent many years employed in Institutions of Higher Education (HEIs) in Academic Organisational Units (AOUs) of Psychology, Counselling, Nursing and Midwifery and Education as lecturers, teachers, tutors and supervisors. In those settings (and outside them at conferences, as members of discussion lists, in the community), we have attempted to enable students, colleagues and members of the public to learn about ways to engage in critical thinking (and to enable them to unlearn ways of engaging in critically problematic thinking and practice) in relation to ‘psy’.
