It is emphasized that theoretical psychology is based on the practice of theorizing. After presenting and challenging some ideas about theories, three tasks for theoretical psychologists are discussed: theorizing as critique refers to describing psychology as a hyper-science that inflates its methodological and technical activities in order to conceal its lack of a natural–scientific foundation. Theorizing as reconstruction is an activity that seeks to make sense of history, culture, society, power, money, and politics in the development of the discipline and subjectivity. This task also traces the elements that have led to psychology’s difficulties. Theorizing as creation means developing theories that are able to make sense of psychological knowledge. It is suggested that a theory of subjectivity is needed that draws on not only the psychological sciences but also the psychological humanities. Finally, it is argued that theorizing remains a duty of psychological work.

心理学理论化:从对超科学的批判到概念化主观性

强调理论心理学是基于理论化的实践。在提出和挑战一些关于理论的观点之后,讨论了理论心理学家的三项任务:将理论化为批判是指将心理学描述为一门超科学,它夸大其方法论和技术活动,以掩盖其缺乏自然科学基础。作为重建的理论化是一种在学科和主体性的发展中寻求理解历史、文化、社会、权力、金钱和政治的活动。这项任务还追踪导致心理学困难的因素。作为创造的理论化意味着发展能够理解心理学知识的理论。建议需要一种不仅借鉴心理科学而且借鉴心理人文学科的主体性理论。最后,有人认为理论化仍然是心理学工作的职责。
