In the political and scientific context of the 1960s, German Critical Psychology emerged as a theoretical and practical elaboration of Marxist thinking on the topic and discipline of psychology. Klaus Holzkamp played a central role in the establishment of Critical Psychology, and this special edition of Theory & Psychology honors his contributions even as it documents the development of his ideas. In this preface we briefly sketch the emergence of German Critical Psychology and introduce the contributors to this special issue.
