It presents an insightful assessment of the philosopher's work, particularly his later writings, which draws on key interpretations hat have informed our understanding of metapsychological and psychological issues. 'Wittgenstein's Philosophy in Psychology' engages with both critics and followers of the philosopher's work to demonstrate its enduring relevance to psychology today.
