1964, 1968, 1973, 1983, 1993, 1995: This essay examines key moments in the formation of Klaus Holzkamp's critical take on social science and psychology. The main target of Holzkamp's work is to craft concepts which enable an immanent interrogation of relations of power and social control sustained through the operations of social science and psychology. Understanding power and control as an immanent question means dealing with power and control as a practical question: critical social science draws its sole justification from its capacity to alter social science and the related social and political fields.
