"Without a doubt, this volume provides a wealth of information on selected key thinkers in psychology. The details of each of them are thoroughly covered and well presented in palatable length for a quick but informative reference. Reading this volume makes one marvel at the difficulties some of these key thinkers had to deal with in their research lives.
`This is a highly enjoyable, erudite and beautifully written manuscript. It conveys a rare depth of understanding and ability to strike at the core debates. The lively style, concentration on the biopic, use of text features such as links between names, and formal division of each sub-section will all appeal.… I have taught History of Psychology for nearly 6 years. This text will prove for more palatable to students than any of the competitors' - Dr Steve Brown, Loughborough University
Just the book I need - the fact that the chapters are grouped into Psychology's sub-areas will make for a very handy lecture structure.
This will make a very useful addition to the core set of texts for this module. It provides a clear and lucid breakdown of the contributions of key thinkers in the discipline and also ties their work into the development of psychology over time and to important questions in the philosophy of science.
Whilst the book does tie the development of psychology to underlying epistemological issues, this is not quite a strong enough focus for this particular module (though I have recommended adoption for another module).
