%X Psychologists have typically narrated their discipline¡¯s history so as to glorify an experimental method, which analyzes the mind independently of cultural and historical factors. In line with Jahoda¡¯s sociocultural sensitivity to psychology, this article critically interrogates the plausibility for this vision of psychology as cut off from wider social processes, and offers an alternative based on a re-appropriation of concepts and methods from psychology¡¯s past that highlight cultural processes. This approach is illustrated with a study of how people remember history narratives on the basis of cultural resources taken over from social groups they belong to, and which thus embed them within a stream of history. Both psychologists¡¯ narratives of their discipline and people¡¯s everyday memory of history are shown to be motivated toward the justification of particular visions of social reality
