There is a need for psychology to become a developmental science. Under
the conditions of neo-liberal policy, psychology is under pressure. The
effect-paradigm easily leads to individualism and a focus on diagnoses rather
than on a wholeness-oriented approach. For illustration, the paper takes its
departure from the described poor mental well-being among many children
and young people. This raises the question, which theoretical paths to follow
for a future developmental science? Two critical approaches to (developmental)
psychology are discussed, which is followed by the argument that
the tradition of ecological psychology (drawing on the ideas of Glen Elder
Jr. and Roger G. Barker) is a meaningful source of inspiration for psychology
as a developmental science.

Ophavsret er tidsskriftets og forfatternes. Det er gældende praksis, at artikler publiceret i Psyke & Logos, som efterfølgende oversættes til andet sprog, af forfatteren frit kan publiceres i internationale tidsskrifter, dog således at det ved reference fremgår, at den oversatte artikel har et forlæg i en dansksproget version i Psyke & Logos. Artikler kan frit deles og linkes til på forsknings- og undervisningsnetværk (så som Blackboard). Link foretrækkes, fordi det giver oplysning om brug af tidsskriftets artikler.
