Chapters explicate the “inner workings” of theoretical psychology – showing exactly what it is that theoretical psychologists “do” and why they do it, while revealing theoretical and philosophical ways to approach the study of psychological phenomena and psychology itself. Topics include conceptual, philosophical, and historical approaches to theoretical psychology, narrative approaches to the nature of human conduct, theoretical bases of contemporary psychotherapeutic practices, and the historical uses – and misuses – of statistical methodologies to measure human progress. Featuring contributions from international experts in a variety of disciplines, The Wiley Handbook of Theoretical and Philosophical Psychology is an invaluable resource for current thinking on the major issues, theories, and diverse methodological approaches relating to the theoretical foundations of psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOne of the chief antidotes to the narrowness and overspecialization of contemporary psychology is critical thinking, or as my ex-philosophy professor called it, \"talk about talk.\"  This volume fairly brims with \"talk about talk,\" and as a result brilliantly widens the scope of our understanding about how and why we behave as we do.
