Dear virtual people,
I`m putting together a reading pack for a core module in Critical
Psychology for our MSc programme (scheduled to start this September).
I would like your reactions and thoughts (different things?) We`re
going to use the Fox & Prilleltensky book as our main text with
classic papers from the radical traditions in psychology in a
dialogue with it. If you think one of these isn`t `critical` or you
have a suggestion for something that is a classic that really should
be included, please let me know asap (and maybe send me a copy,
realmail?). Thanks in advance, Ian.
