Critics Review

For the reader frustrated with the limitations of modernist psychology this book offers a thought-provoking alternative: an Off-Modern approach.

If you thought psychology must be ‘modern’ then think again; this book is one way to off psychology.–Ian Parker, Professor of Management, University of Leicester
