◆德國Amazon讀者5顆星滿分推薦 心理學能測量IQ、人格特質， 教我們如何溝通、經營婚姻、教養子女， 甚至能判斷我們是否「正常」…… 心理學無所不能、不容質疑， 真的嗎？ IQ被濫用了？ 發明IQ計算方式的心理學家威廉‧史丹恩再三強調，IQ只是瞬間的紀錄而已，人會成長、改變、吸收經驗，人類整體也會變得更聰明，這些因素都會影響IQ數字。有心理學教授認為，IQ凸顯的根本是社會背景，因為IQ比較偏向白種中產階級，這個概念其實不適合用在對事業成就的預測上。 在美國，這個仍有待商榷的IQ，甚至還能決定生死。在2002年美國最高法院決議，對智能障礙人士做出死刑判決違反憲法規定之後，一些州政府將IQ分數低於70的人定義為智能障礙。 MBTI職業性格測驗不可信？ 9成美國大企業都在用的MBTI職業性格測驗，源自於1970年代初期一位費城的家庭主婦，起因是她想了解女兒的男朋友。她和女兒便以榮格的類型學為基礎，發展出MBTI測驗，能將受試者區分為16種不同的類別。但MBTI測驗並不被學術心理學家認可，有心理學教授認為MBTI測驗連可信度都存疑，因有75%的受試者再次進行測驗之後的性格類型變得不同。 要「當個正常人」變得越來越困難 心理疾病的概念被不斷擴大，要「當個健康人」變得更加困難。人們沒有變，但診斷的標準卻變得太有彈性。 德國社會精神病學的創始人之一克勞斯‧多爾納認為：「今天被視為患有精神病的人，當中有80%在30年前還被所有專業人士認為是正常的。」他花了兩年時間蒐集兩份日報中的科學研究報導，這些研究都用以宣傳需要治療的心理疾病，例如憂鬱症、飲食障礙或是成癮症。結果是：211%的大眾都符合這些病症，也就是說，每個德國人「應該」都至少患有兩種需要治療的精神疾病。 心理學如何成為當代的信仰？ 心理學家主張能測知智商，同時能得知個人特質及創造力；他們闡述情感，說明如何成功地溝通及自我管理；他們建構出測試法，號稱能在網路上找出最佳的伴侶；他們告訴我們如何經營婚姻、如何教養子女，以及我們該在職場上爭取何種目標。心理學能診斷出我們是否正常、為我們的苦難命名，從創傷後壓力症候群，一直到職業倦怠症。心理學一方面提供安慰，另一方面卻又嚴密地控制著我們。作者在書中描繪了心理學如何深具感染力，及其所帶來的種種現象，為讀者澄清了這門現今最受歡迎學科的風險與副作用。 【好評推薦】 「針對心理產業的風險及副作用提出精闢且早令人引頸期盼的剖析。」 ──《週日快訊》（Kurier...
