The book "Ghosts of Psychology: The Crisis in the Profession and the Road Back" by Jerome Kagan. He addresses the flaws and contradictions of psychology research, arguing that most studies ignore context, cultural and historical influences, and rely too heavily on verbal reports, which can be inaccurate and biased. The author criticizes the excessive focus on genes and the brain at the expense of social and cultural factors, and proposes a paradigm shift, focusing on patterns of observation rather than isolated measurements, to obtain a more complete and accurate understanding of psychological phenomena. Kagan also explores the complexity of defining mental illness, questioning the validity of current categorizations and the effectiveness of drug treatments, advocating a more individualized and context-sensitive approach.
