ABSTRACT
In the field of psychology, and in the neighbouring fields of psychiatry, sociology, and anthropology, one thing in particular makes progress difficult. This chapter looks at how the requirements of a psychology quapsychology might relate to the requirements of a psychology qua science. The loyalties of many psychologists seem to lie not to psychology – not the logos of the psyche – but to Science and to Method. The history of 'respectable' psychology is the history of behaviourism. Primarily, psychology studies those factors which determine man's behaviour, but any study that accounts for those determinants only, as it were, from the outside will neglect man as determiner and how these determinations will be perceived. The question remains as to what would constitute an alternative psychology and what status that alternative psychology might aspire to.
