" This volume, edited by three leading proponents and practitioners of human science
psychology, serves as an invitation to readers new to this approach while also renewing
that invitation to those who have long embraced and advanced research in the field
from this perspective. It is a timely and important invitation. In 2009, the American
Psychological Association declared psychology to be a core STEM (science, technology,
engineering, mathematics) discipline and advocated the teaching and practice of psychology
with this natural science understanding in mind, but in 2014 further reaffirmed alternative
methods by adding a new journal, Qualitative Psychology. The varied essays in this
volume, certainly, bolster the view that a purely STEM-centered vision would ignore
much about the very experience of being human.In fact, it would be dangerous to rely
solely on the methods of the natural sciences to study human beings, who operate in
the realm of meanings, lived experience, and complex and complicated relationships
with self and others. We create societies and belief systems, orient ourselves in
time, experience beauty and pain. The Qualitative Vision for Psychology: An Invitation
to a Human Science Approach argues that because we have aspects that are distinctly
and uniquely human -- we are not rats, hydrogen, or rocks, for example -- this necessitates
a distinctly human science, one that regards persons as humans rather than objects
of study. The laws and formulas of the natural sciences simply do not take into account
that particularly human way of being in the world.There are few comprehensive books
on psychology conceived as a human science, even though it has a long history with
roots in phenomenology, existentialism, psychoanalysis, humanistic psychology, and
hermeneutics. In recent years, as these essays discuss, the field has been transformed
through its contact with feminism, critical historical analysis, and deconstruction,
and it has continued to examine new challenges. Further, we see here its specific
applicability to issues as diverse as empathy, cultural history, apartheid, sexual
assault, fetishes, and our natural environment. " ; "Arguing that a purely STEM-centered
approach to psychology is inadequate for understanding the experience of being human,
these essays acknowledge psychology's roots in phenomenology, existentialism, and
hermeneutics, while discussing issues as diverse as empathy, cultural history, apartheid,
sexual assault, fetishes, and our natural environment"
