About this episode

This episode discusses the need for revolutions in psychology with insights from various experts.

In this episode, we share hot takes on the matter from the expert contributors to the March 2026 issue of our magazine, The Psychologist . What do they believe needs a revolution within the discipline? And should we call for revolutions at all?
