Psychologist new, old, or not a psychologist at all: this book is for you. O’Connor and Robbins honestly critique the narratives which shape psychology and thus influence societal understanding of concepts such as race, gender, sex, intelligence, and psychiatric diagnoses.
An incredibly insightful, eye-opening, and inspiring book, 'Colonised Minds' is an essential read for everyone interested or involved in psychology. This work presents a brilliant examination of the power structures that have shaped the discipline of psychology from a critical, anti-colonial perspective. Compelling and self-aware, O'Connor and Robbins confront the discipline’s own role in maintaining oppression and perpetuating inequity, encouraging the reader to question and reflect on how we view, teach, and relate to psychology today.
