Abstract

Law and psychology are disciplines that live in separate wings of the same palace. Both share the goal of predicting and controlling human behavior. However, the law relies necessarily, though often unknowingly or naively, on psychological theories and paradigms it cannot do without. With regard to psychological paradigms, sociological creationism has implicitly expressed the same indifference to which interactionism and other microsociological theories had been condemned, thus repeating the old mistake of placing psychology and sociology on two separate levels that do not communicate. The gist of this critique sounds more or less like this: psychology studies behavioral processes that are inevitably individual and is thus too “contaminated” by the biological factor to offer a satisfactory narrative of social processes.
