Journal Article
(2015). Giving psychology away: How George Miller's vision is being realised by psychological literacy. Psychology Teaching Review, 93 - 101 (8)

In George Miller’s famous address to the APA he explored the aims and future direction of psychology. Psychology could develop as a professional elite that develops specialised knowledge that experts can hold on to or it could aim to “give psychology...
