Middle class sprawl: Locating the psychologesque in the history of psychology
1Department of Psychology, Graceland University.
Abstract:
To add to the system of classes already present in the recent historiography of psychology, a new and broader class is proposed, the psychologesque. This class includes, along with a central core of master's- and PhD-level psychologists, surrounding belts of cognate professionals in other fields who are, to a greater or lesser degree, tinged with psychology. Advantages to including this broad class, in some ways similar to the U.S. middle class, in the history of psychology are advanced. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).
