Features: In this book, Dr. Zhou Ning starts with a high perspective and broad vision, proposing the prominence of psychological discourse forms from the turn of philosophical linguistics. Through in-depth theoretical reflection, he divides psychological research into two discourse forms: monological psychology and dialogical psychology. By integrating the history and reality of Western psychology, he provides an in-depth interpretation and critique of the monological psychology text: three principles (natural consistency, substantiality, causal consistency), two psychological discourse forms ("I" psychology and "you" psychology), and its negative impacts. Subsequently, he dedicates a significant portion of the book to the non-natural consistency, non-substantiality, and non-causal principles of psychology, emphasizing dialogue between psychological experts and the public, between psychological theory and real life, and between research methods and research questions. He strives to construct a reasonable and plausible psychology rooted in social life, characterized by mutual openness and equal dialogue. The book presents clear viewpoints, profound analysis, and unique insights, demonstrating great creativity.
