Psychology focuses on individual interventions and is poorly suited to handle our struggles, which are primarily societal and systemic. Individual people have real problems, psychologists can help them maximise their potential and succeed in the face of oppression. Placing the point of intervention on the person sends a message that the responsibility is on them to adapt to the very structures causing the problems. Therefore psychology becomes complicit in marginalising those we claim to serve. Forgive me for trying to help people cope and live their lives until we create a utopian
society; Enjoy your complicity in cultural hegemony while patting yourself on the back for "helping people."
