Abstract:
A conspicuous characteristic of the currently »professional culture« of psychology is that profound theoretical work is be neglected in favor of a relatively unfocused accumulation of empirical (often not very meaningful) detailed findings. While there have been many innovations and refinements in the field of research methods, the progress of the theoretical contents has been come to a standstill. Therefore, the creation of a coherent conceptual framework model of psychology receded into the distance. Concerning this, the question should be discussed which specialized historical developments as well as which social and political conditions of the currently scientific culture have led to this situation. On the one hand, historical reasons may play a role which can be described as a »failed coping with the past« relating to the late detachment of psychology from philosophy. On the other hand there can be found mismanaged socio-scientific processes which are connected with the economization of scientific activities.
