Psychology and Fallibilism
By Dennis Ford
0 - Default Title
Description
The fallibility of knowledge is explored in the following topics in the science of psychology-
~ The distortions of memory that can occur in eyewitness testimony
~ The debacle of the "memory wars" of the 1980s and '90s
~ The creation of false confessions and how police interrogations serve as a model how recovered memories are formed in psychotherapy
~ The value of criticism and refutation in maintaining the integrity of research
~ The inaccurate conception that making mistakes is awful and that mistakes should be kept hidden
~ The possibility of being in two places at the same time allows us to foretell the future and turns us into creative artists or mental patients
As a bonus, the final chapter presents an overview of Harry Stack Sullivan's Interpersonal Theory.
