Why isn't everyone an evolutionary psychologist?
Frontiers in psychology, 2014Co-Authors: Darren BurkeAbstract:Despite a widespread acceptance that the brain that underpins human Psychology is the result of biological evolution, very few psychologists in any way incorporate an evolutionary perspective in their research or practice. There have been many attempts to convince Mainstream Psychology of the importance of such a perspective, mostly from those who identify with “Evolutionary Psychology,” and there has certainly been progress in that direction, but the core of Psychology remains essentially unevolutionary. Here I explore a number of potential reasons for Mainstream Psychology continuing to ignore or resist an evolutionary approach, and suggest some ways in which those of us interested in seeing an increase in the proportion of psychologists adopting an evolutionary perspective might need to modify our tactics to increase our chances of success.

Advancing psychobiography: Reply to Young and Collins (2018).
The American psychologist, 2018Co-Authors: Joseph G. PonterottoAbstract:In this reply to Young and Collins (2018), the author responds to 3 primary concerns raised about integrating psychobiography into Mainstream Psychology: appropriate historical context and historiographic research methods, avoiding deterministic conclusions and the role of psychobiography in theory testing, and ethical concerns related to lack of informed consent of the identified subject. The author appreciates the thoughtful comments of Young and Collins and hopes that discussion and debate about psychobiography will continue in the literature. (PsycINFO Database Record

Integrating psychobiography into Psychology's Mainstream: Introduction to the special section.
The American psychologist, 2017Co-Authors: Tim KasserAbstract:Psychobiography, the intense study of a particular person, has long existed at the fringes of Mainstream Psychology. This special section is comprised of two articles that take important steps to integrate psychobiography into the Mainstream of Psychology. Schultz and Lawrence (2017) do so by reviewing recent examples of how contemporary psychobiographers have used empirically supported methods and theories to reach conclusions about the individuals under study. Ponterotto and Reynolds (2017) do so by articulating important ethical issues relevant to the practice of psychobiography, a topic on which the American Psychological Association's current ethical code provides little guidance (American Psychological Association, 2017). This introduction closes by proposing that Mainstream Psychology might better appreciate how psychobiography contributes to psychological knowledge and practice if psychobiographers also clearly articulated their criteria for "good science," better explained how psychobiographical methods complement more Mainstream methodological approaches, and empirically tested whether training in psychobiography helps clinicians better understand and treat their clients.

Subjectivity, not personality: combining psychoanalysis and discourse analysis
2008Co-Authors: Peter BranneyAbstract:Mainstream Psychology can often be criticized for turning the liberal concerns of psychologists into conservative practices focusing on the individual. In the United Kingdom, the discursive turn in social Psychology has been marked by an audacious body of work critical of cognitive attempts to theorize the social. A particular psycho-discursive strand has emerged, which combines discourse analysis and psychoanalytic theory in an attempt to change both the subject of, and the subjectivity (re)produced by, Mainstream Psychology. This paper reviews three different psycho-discursive approaches: (i) Hollway and Jefferson's Free Association Narrative Interview method; (ii) Billig's Psychoanalytic Discursive Psychology; (iii) Parker's Lacanian excursions into social Psychology. In these psycho-discursive approaches, ‘subjectivity’ replaces personality as the key theoretical construct where the social forms part of who we are and these approaches seem to offer social psychologists the theoretical tools to start to appreciate how individual personality and social context are intimately connected.
