Many thanks for this very thoughtful response. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you. There is much in your reply that I would like to respond to. If you would like to engage in a dialogue, please feel free to email me at henriqgx@jmu.edu Crucial to the issues are (a) what is psychology/what should psychology be?; (b) what is professional psychology and what should it be (which I see as very different); and (c) we absolutely need branches like liberation psychology and deep concern about colonialism...however, the mainstream organization should NOT be defined by that angle....it is an angle, not the whole.
