Is anyone interested in discussing the content of a specific psychology textbook?
Edited on Mon Aug-02-10 09:40 PM by Boojatta
In particular, we could discuss the question of whether or not the content is science.

If so, then please specify what book you have in mind.

My suggestion is...

Title:
Child Psychology: Development in a Changing Society

Authors:
Vasta, Ross
Miller, Scott A.
Ellis, Shari

A number of inexpensive but good condition copies of the 4th edition (published by Wiley in 2004) seem to be available.

I presume that people who are now working as teachers, and who required official academic credit in a course that used that edition to become teachers, haven't been told that they may lose their jobs unless they pass a special test because authorities have decided that the 2004 edition is riddled with errors and pseudoscience and is completely obsolete.

I think that 2004 is probably recent enough and that it's more important to have a consensus on one particular edition of one particular book that most DU members can afford than it is to use the very latest edition of a textbook.

5. Could you start
by giving your own (working) definition of science and then your view about connection between current scientific theories (physics?) and psychology?
