"The Anatomy of Impact: What Makes the Great Works of Psychology Great brings together experts in the philosophy, practice, and history of psychology to analyze works of monumental impact and examine what separates some of the most influential psychological works from those that are less successful. In addition to identifying and describing particularly important works, contributors pinpoint specific attributes that led to great impact and offer practical advice to students and professionals striving to achieve substantial impact in their own work."--BOOK JACKET.
