Synopsis :

Brings the history of psychology to life

Pioneers of Psychology tells the stories of the men and women who have shaped our understanding of what it means to be human. The authors illuminate major themes and controversies in psychology's history through carefully crafted stories of real people, their personal journeys, and their intellectual insights. The Fifth Edition includes three new chapters covering historiography, pre-1600 psychological ideas, and clinical psychology.
