ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the contribution of Marxism to psychology after the crisis. It explores and elaborates in some detail current guises of critical psychology in the English-speaking world. The chapter turns more directly to processes of institutional recuperation that the people need to notice and challenge if they are to stay critical in psychology. There is already a space for critical psychology as a sub-discipline in contemporary neoliberal capitalism and there is a degree of institutional recuperation that demands obedience to the academic institutions. Psychology re-presents the elements of second nature under capitalism that psychologists imagine to be the real cause of the activity. This analysis would lead to a political economy of psychology as itself operating within the wider circulation of commodities in capitalism. By revolutionary Marxism the chapter mean a political movement which combines a theoretical analysis of capitalist society.
