THE QUEST FOR LIBERATORY PSYCHOLOGY

Despite scepticism about the viability, scope and nature of liberatory psychology, a nuanced study of anti-apartheid and international progr essive scholarship within psychology reveals otherwise. Accordingly, i n this paper I seek to describe the distinctive processes, phases and epistemological challenges integral to the quest for a liberatory psyc hology. Specific attention is also accorded to a liberatory agenda whi ch may be distilled from the progressive psychological literature.
