Skinner to Noam Chomsky, Sigmund Freud to Abraham Maslow, this beautifully concise, richly informative little book discusses the ideas and experiments that have defined the course of psychology as it has developed over the last 150 years.
Beginning with psychology’s iconic founders, Wundt and William James, and concluding with features on contemporary psychiatrists, Aaron Beck and Robin Murray, the guide is presented chronologically, giving readers a distinct sense of the development of psychology and a coherent overview of the field.
