Psychology in Crisis is an unflinching tour of the challenges of doing psychological science well. Brian Hughes describes six crises facing psychology that could make one think that all is lost. But it is not. At their core, the crises are illustrations of just how hard it is to study human behavior and, simultaneously, why it is worth doing. Hughes closes with a path toward a science that is robust, transparent, and self-skeptical to help accelerate discovery and ensure that psychology meets its potential as a scientific enterprise. * Brian Nosek, Professor in Psychology at the University of Virginia and Executive Director for the Center for Open Science * Hughes grapples with the most fundamental problems of the field ... [He] does not skirt around difficult questions... making this book pertinent and long overdue reading for researchers, students and anyone interested in or associated with psychology's journey to recovery. * Luke Gabriel Stewart, International Journal of Educational Psychology *
