Psychology in critical perspective

  1. How might you account for the horizontal distribution of items in the lower-half of the plot? What does it say about the nature of psychological knowledge?
  2. How might you account for the vertical distribution of items on the left side of the plot? What does it say about the nature of psychology as a discipline?
  3. How might you account for the relatively central location of 'Deconstruction' on the plot?
  4. What implications does the plot's layout as a whole have for contemporary mainstream psychology, and how might it suggest a need for a shift in focus or perspective?
  5. In what way does your own attempt to interpret the plot exemplify or mirror the very issues with which the plot itself is concerned?
