From the professional beginnings of their discipline, contend the authors, American psychologists have made two promises: that psychology would be treated as a natural science and that its application to social?mainly educational?reform would be as effective as that of the more physical sciences to technological change. Underlying these promises is the ?liberal consensus,? the belief that social problems are to be solved by improvements in educational methods. Put to the test during the affluence of the 1950s and 1960s?the years of the liberal consensus?these promises were never kept, maintain the authors. Their provocative study provides a variety of reasons why the goal was unattained, and is even unattainable. The book will be of interest to psychologists, sociologists, professional educators, and students of social change. 606 $aPsychology$zUnited States$xMethodology 606 $aEducational psychology$zUnited States$xMethodology 606 $aLiberalism$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPsychology$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$y20th century 615 0$aPsychology$xMethodology. 615 0$aEducational psychology$xMethodology. 615 0$aLiberalism$xHistory 615 0$aPsychology$xHistory 676 $a302 700 $aAnderson$b Charles C$g(Charles Campbell),$f1923-$01231486 701 $aTravis$b LeRoy Douglas$01231487 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154970703321 996 $aPsychology and the Liberal Consensus$92859378 997 $aUNINA
