Deja Vu?
Elisa Abenchuchan Déjà vu. Is it? Or is it not? A wave of nausea came over me.  A feeling of uncertainty, wonderment, and anxiety.  Was I having hallucinations?

Reconsidering history of pyschology?s borders
Jon Henner Scot Atkin?s comments on Critical Theory piqued my interest.  I was particularly curious about how it differed from social constructionism.  Krantz (2001)?s article about the history of psychology and potential applications of critical theory did not do much to distinguish critical theory from Gergen (1985)?s social construction movements.  Both begin with the premise [...]
