Is Psychology Losing Its Foundations?

I contend that, together with increasing diversity of subject matter, there is a contraction of methods and approaches in psychology today. There is decreasing room for small, but critical, parts of the field—particularly those in cultural-scientific aspects of psychology, such as the history, philosophy, and theory of psychology and general psychology. These areas provide the foundations of entire discipline. These changes occur in the context of growing anti-intellectualism in society at large and changing pressures in universities. I explore these trends at these three levels: society, universities, and psychology, and suggest some remedies for psychology.
