The Psychology of Action

by John L. Smith

"In this book, John L. Smith restores action to the central stage of the psychological agenda. He explores the way tensions between the concepts of behaviour and action have erupted into conflict within the discipline, especially over the past three decades: the crisis in social psychology of the 1970s, the emergence of discursive psychology in the 1980s and the development of critical psychology in the 1990s."--BOOK JACKET.
