Unified clinical science, or paradigm diversity? Comment on Melchert (2016)
Drawing on Kuhn's (1970) analysis, Melchert (2016) argued that current professional psychology exists in a preparadigmatic state and that a transition to a unified clinical science based on the paradigm of the behavioral and neurosciences is now possible. But Melchert's analysis makes questionable assumptions about reducibility and neglects several crucial aspects of Kuhn's analysis. A close examination of psychological work on problems such as v…

This essay is based on recent fieldwork (2005-2006) among Sierra Leonean migrants, both legal and illegal, living in southeast London. Its focus is the lifeworld of a young Sierra Leonean man struggling to find his feet in a city that is both perplexing and perilous.

Throughout this compelling work,…

The author begins by recounting a young Sierra Leonean woman's story about her wartime suffering and her postwar situation.
