A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

History and Philosophy of Psychology is a lively and accessible introduction to the historical development of psychology. Its distinct inclusion of ideas from both Eastern and Western philosophies offers students a uniquely broad view of human psychology.

• While covering all the major landmarks in the history of psychology, the text also provides students with little–known but fascinating insights into key questions, such as whether Freud really cured his patients; what was nude psychotherapy; and were the early psychologists racist?
• The book encourages students to explore the philosophical and theoretical implications of the historical development of psychology.
• It also explores key theoretical ideas and experiments in detail, with background to their development and valuable suggestions for further reading.
