Summary: "This unique textbook on the history of psychology eloquently introduces the classic scholars, studies, and the subsequent generations of people and ideas that have come to define the broad discipline that is psychology. By combining the personal history of key thinkers with their significant contribution to the discipline, including cross-referencing to other 'thinkers' throughout, the author has presented a lively and engaging work that will support undergraduate teaching and learning in a refreshing manner. It will also bring to life a subject that is very popular throughout the western world by showing how psychologists have developed their ideas, influenced their peers or their followers."--Page 4 of cover.
