Notable American psychologist Jerome Kagen talks about what he says is a crisis in the field of research psychology.
Kevin Friery's insight:
A fascinating indictment, from someone who has been at the heart of the profession
Luigi Frezza Psicologo's curator insight,
January 29, 4:22 AM
Jerome Kagan, uno dei padri della psicologia dello sviluppo negli USA, discute nell'intervista dei limiti e delle criticità della psichiatria e della psicologia. Dalle sue parole emergono diversi e significativi spunti di riflessione. A me hanno colpito due affermazioni in particolare (la traduzione è mia):
- "In Europa e in Nord America, l'elemento per prevedere con maggiore accuratezza l'emergere di una depressione non è un gene nè una misura dell'attività cerebrale, ma la condizione di povertà".
- "Non è stato adeguatamente studiato il ruolo del contesto, della classe sociale della storia di vita, delle credenze e dei valori nell'emergere di problematiche psicologiche".
