FORTHCOMING: Psychologization
and the Subject of Late Modernity, Palgrave, 2014
"Jan
De Vos starts where other critiques on psychology end, presenting the
argument
that psychology is psychologization.This fresh and pioneering approach
asks
what it means to become the psychologist of one's own life. If
something is not
working in our education, in our marriage, in our work and in society
in
general we turn to the psy-sciences. But is the latter's paradigm precisely
not
relying on feeding psychological theories into the field of research
and
action?
This book traces psychologization from the Enlightenment to
Late-Modernity, engaging with seminal thinkers such as La Mettrie,
Husserl,
Lasch and Agamben, whereby Jan De Vos teases out the possibilities and
the
limits of using psychoanalytic theory as a critical tool. Offering
challenging and thought-provoking
insights into how the modern human came to adopt a psychological gaze
on itself
and the world, this book will appeal to psychologists, sociologists and
studies
of culture"

Psychologisation
in times of globalisation
(Routlegde/Psychology Press, May 2012)
NEW REVIEW: Rupp,
G. V., & Powell, G. J. (2013). A
very dangerous book: To know is to feel–Bad
[Review of the
book Psychologisation
in times of globalisation, by J.
De Vos]. PsycCRITIQUES,
58(11). doi: 10.1037/a0031395
“…
De
Vos’s book is demonstrably dangerous: to
psychologists who may be reluctant to look critically at their
discipline, to
“clients” who see themselves solely as
psychological
service consumers, and to
psychology teachers who may feel that they’re merely
reporting
the truth of the
human and never actively constructing it.”
"At the minimum,
psychologists of all stripes should read this text, as it relentlessly
outlines
the problematic - and problemitizing - nature of psychology."
