Samenvatting

Shameful Sciences documents varied forms of problematic biased theorizing influencing early Western and American psychology.

The book also traces the influence of eugenics in creation of American psychology epistemological/disciplinary practices, including the comparisons of humans to caged animals, extensive testing of “fitness,” focus on moral and behavioral control of human beings, and on exclusive focus on “positive” emotions.
