		Critical psychology is both a critique of "mainstream" psychology and an attempt to apply psychology in more progressive ways (based, for example, on Marxist or feminist analyses) and contexts than have thus far been the case.
		Critical psychology started in the 1970s in Berlin at the Freie Universität Berlin, and the German branch of critical psychology predates and has developed largely separately from the rest of the field.

		Social psychology in the US was also the source, during the so-called `crisis`, of reflections on the character of social psychology as thoroughly tied to history (Gergen, 1973), and the elaborations of this argument now inspire the `social constructionist` trend of critique that has widened its scope to psychology as a whole.
		Critical psychology should not be defined as always `relativist` (although it may well treat all the discipline`s facts as social constructions) or as `realist` (although it may want to give an account of the underlying social conditions that give rise to certain ideas in the discipline) (Parker, 1998).
		Critical psychology must be mobile and tactical in its journey across this terrain, and its map of `the edges` and `the centre` is a little different from that drawn by the professional cartographers of the mind.

		Other examples of critical periods include the initial four months of life during which puppies must be exposed to humans in order to make good pets and the early months in which birds must be exposed to the characteristic song of their species in order to learn it.
		Critical periods vary in length: the period for identifying one's mother may last only a few hours, while the period for learning to identify a mate may take several months.
		For example, the embryonic stage in humans is a critical period for certain types of growth (such as the appearance of the heart, eyes, ears, hands, and feet) which must occur for prenatal development to proceed normally.

		From a critical psychology perspective, each one of these contexts is suffused with power differentials that privilege the powerful and discriminate against the weak (Kawachi, Kennedy, and Wilkinson, 1999; Kim, Millen, Irwin, and Gersham, 2000; McCubbin, 2001; Petersen, 1994; Prilleltensky and Nelson, in press).

		One of our main concerns is that mainstream psychology traditionally works within the philosophical, ideological and epistemological frameworks constructed within existing social institutions and rarely critiques or challenges aspects of the social system itself that potentially produce forms of oppression and suffering.
		For example the theories and practices of critical psychology have emerged from a broad range of interests including feminism, human rights struggles, liberation theology, participatory democracy, psychoanalysis, postmodern theory, poststructuralism, socialism, marxism, queer theory, social constructionism, ecological thought, community psychology, and other lines of thought and practice that challenge psychology's individualism, scientism, and inherent conservatism.
		As a group we are unified by our interests in a conceptual critique of the philosophical underpinnings and assumptions of psychology as well as political critiques concerned with psychology’s socio-culturally regulative role: its unwitting collusion in maintaining the social order via its normalising practices and role prescriptions and the reproduction of oppressive practices of power.

		It may also limit the ability of critical psychology to be articulated as a more-than-local form of resistance, and curtail reference to "mainstream psychology" as a nodal point in the social construction of subjectivity, experience and human activity.
		While critical projects increasingly assume legitimate positions in textbooks, undergraduate curricula, post-graduate research and various forms of application and intervention, the growth area of psychology is still in the direction of an American-style, aggressively professional and market-oriented individual therapy industry.
		As elsewhere in the world, critical psychology in South Africa was thus borne from a two-tiered interrogation of psychology in its relation to politics.
