By who to whom? `Commentary on the article
by Tomasz Witkowski and Paweł Fortuna:
On psycho-business, tolerance and responsibility
or strategies employed by pure scientists
Wiesław Łukaszewski
Higher School of Social Psychology
Abstract |
The author of the commentary argues that both the provocation that introduced the bogus therapy
as a new therapeutic procedure in the popular magazine, and the commented article are based on false assumptions,
namely: (a) that social practice must have a scientific background; (b) that any activity
that is not based on scientific premises is immoral; ( c) that the goal of scientists is to expose the missing theoretical premises of social practice.
The provocation, despite the good intentions of the author, was conducted in a way which goes against its goal,
that is, increasing the intellectual and moral vigilance of academic psychologists.
Key words: abuse in psychology, moral responsibility
