Marxism considers psychology and psychiatry to be young and complex sciences which are powerfully affected by the nature of society. Marxism contributes to these sciences by applying dialectical and historical materialism to their study and development. The Marxist critique of psychology and psychiatry under capitalism identifies the immense harmful effect on them of capitalist class ideology in a number of areas: anti-working class theories, racism, national chauvinism, sexism, theories of fixed evil human nature, and false or one-sided theories. Socialism is held to provide a healthy environment for individual psychological development and to utilize psychology and psychiatry for scientific and humane ends.
马克思主义认为心理学和精神病学是年轻且复杂的科学，它们受到社会性质的强烈影响。马克思主义通过将辩证唯物主义和历史唯物主义应用于这些科学的研究与发展，为它们做出了贡献。马克思主义对资本主义下的心理学和精神病学的批判，在许多领域指出了资产阶级意识形态对它们造成的巨大有害影响：反工人阶级理论、种族主义、民族沙文主义、性别歧视、人性本恶的固定理论，以及虚假或片面的理论。社会主义被认为能为个人心理发展提供健康的环境，并将心理学和精神病学用于科学和人道的目的。
