As contemporary psychology goes through
these times of crisis, revolts and
protests around the world, we need to
reflect again on the significance of
Marxism for psychological scholarship
and practice. We know that different
fields of psychology have already been
permeated, questioned, challenged and
concerned by Marxist theory and practice
during the last century. Currently
several scholars and activists recognize
the potential for Marxism to transform
psychology. A number of them acknowledge
the increasing role of Marxist theory
and practice in their scientific
pursuits and political activities. And
many scholars make research on the
historical and current positions in the
intersection of Marxism with psychology.
At present, however, there still are
relatively few opportunities for all
these people to exchange their findings
and their views on this essential topic.
