"Neoliberalism, Ethics, and the Social Responsibility of Psychology: Dialogues at the Edge brings us up close to the exciting work of interdisciplinary iconoclasts in several fields as they talk informally about their work with iconoclastic colleagues. Each dialogue is truly 'at the edge,' opening readers’ minds to questions and ideas that the writers’ home disciplines too often police, appropriate, suppress. Each writer also offers a personal story that reveals the costs, bravery, and, sometimes, the loneliness of challenging dominant Eurocentric, neoliberal, individualistic, and universalizing paradigms, of breaking disciplinary boundaries. No matter in what discipline you comfortably or uncomfortably reside, this book will challenge you to rethink what you know about subjectivity and its discontents." Lynne Layton is author of Toward a Social Psychoanalysis: Culture, Character, and Normative Unconscious Processes

"This book is a portrait of psychology in the heart of the beast. It is a remarkable collection of challenging and hopeful responses to psychology’s collusion with toxic forces that threaten American society. Several of psychology’s great interdisciplinary thinkers spell out the dangers and opportunities that confront the profession as it both flees from and engages its ethical responsibilities." Philip Cushman is a retired teacher, psychotherapist, and semi-retired writer, hisrecent publications include Travels with the Self: Interpreting Psychology as Cultural History, and Hermeneutic Approaches to Interpretive Research: Dissertations in a Different Key
