Shameful Sciences documents varied forms of problematic biased theorizing influencing early Western and American psychology. The book brings to light ideologies promoted by key U.S. psychology leaders, specifically those grounded in social Darwinism and eugenics. The book also traces the influence of eugenics in creation of American psychology epistemological/disciplinary practices, including the comparisons of humans to caged animals, extensive testing of "fitness," focus on moral and behavioral control of human beings, and on exclusive focus on "positive" emotions.
