Matthew Tyler Giobbi (born 1974) is an author, photographer and educator in the fields of science criticism, philosophy, media theory, psychoanalysis and psychology. He is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Mercer County Community College in New Jersey and an adjunct Lecturer at Rutgers University, Newark.[1] [2] He has written "A Postcognitive Negation: The Sadomasochistic Dialectic of American Psychology"[3] and is the Editor of The International Association of Transdisciplinary Psychology[4][5] [6]
Biography
Giobbi was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania and received his BS from East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania, his MA from The New School for Social Research in New York CIty, and his Ph.D. from The European Graduate School in Saas Fee, Switzerland. Giobbi is the Erich Fromm Postdoctoral Research Associate at The European Graduate School.[7] Giobbi has studied under Wolfgang Schirmacher, Victor Vitanza, Helene Cixous, Bracha Ettinger, Judith Butler, Nick Humphrey, and Claire Denis. Currently he works and lives in New York City.
Science and Psychology Criticism
Giobbi draws on the Frankfurt School, Critical Theory, and Psychoanalytic traditions of cultural criticism. Centering around the work of Erich Fromm and Martin Heidegger, Giobbi has called for a "postcognitive psychology"[8] one in which a transdisciplinary approach replaces the current positivist domination of experimental psychology.[9]
Postcognitive Psychology
In his first book "A Postcognitive Negation: The Sadomasochistic Dialectic of American Psychology"[10] [11] (Atropos Press)[[1]]) Giobbi outlines the history of the "media event of experimental psychology" and the future course he feels the field must take. In a review Victor VItanza wrote:
- "From an upstart position to a restart opportunity, Giobbi argues for and provides a well-documented background check on the modern paradigm of cognitive psychology--with all of its scientistic and positivistic presumptions. Systematically, yet paralogically, Giobbi turns his readers toward seeing what still remains concealed and hidden in modernist thinking: namely, the "sadomasochistic event" of mind-body split, master-slave relations, and subject-object dualisms. Giobbi prescribes a post-cognitive psychology of unconcealedness by way of a Heideggerian philosophy of Dasein."[12]
Psychology as a Media Event
Giobbi describes the history and systems of psychology as mediated manufacturing for the need for psychology. Primarily through American media moguls and entrepreneurs like James McKeen Cattell and German Wilhelm Wundt (who published the first psychology journals) psychology was promoted and sold as a necessity in corporate, military, education, and eventually mental health markets. Giobbi views the split of psychology from philosophy as a media event that created the artificial need for experimental psychologists to train more experimental psychologists. Giobbi takes up the argument where Michel Focault, R.D. Laing and Friedrich Nietzsche left off.
Transdisciplinary Psychology
Giobbi is the editor of the International Association of Transdisciplinary Psychology. The IATP is made up of an international editorial board and is a peer-reviewed journal.[13] The IATP features articles by scholars who take a transdisciplinary approach to psychology.[14] The journal has been granted an ISSN with the Library of Congress (ISSN:2156-0269).
