Radical Psychology Network
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Radical Psychology Network began in 1993 when two dozen people attended a panel at the American Psychological Association convention entitled "Will Psychology Pay Attention to its Own Radical Critics?"
Today the group has more than 500 members in over three dozen countries. Members include psychologists and others, academics and practitioners, faculty and students, psychotherapists and consumer-survivors.
The aim of the group is to change the status quo of psychology. Challenging psychology's traditional focus on minor reform, members emphasise enhancing human welfare by working for fundamental social change. They claim that psychology itself has too often oppressed people rather than liberated them and they work to redress this imbalance.
