Authoritarian Trends in Contemporary Psychology: The Dominance of the Paradigm

Abstract

This paper attempts to show how the concept of authoritarianism can be applied, in a metatheoretical sense, to the activities of paradigms found in modern psychology. The argument is advanced that current paradigm-languages tend to obscure important epistemological issues and create an aurora of authority that serves to curtail too self-critical thinking.
