| Summary |
"History of Psychology in Autobiography, V. 9 takes readers through the personal and intellectual journeys of nine eminent people whose research has propelled the field of psychology into the 21st century. Each featured psychologist narrates how historical circumstances, collaborations, internal struggles, and public conflict led him or her to choose and develop various lines of research." "Over the past 50 years, psychology has expanded from behaviorism and psychoanalysis into cognitive and social theories of learning and brain-based models of behavior and memory. Contributors to this volume document their role in these and other movements, including personality theory and assessment and child development. Readers interested in applied psychology will find valuable insights in authors' accounts of their involvements in such diverse areas as education design, civil rights, courtroom testimony, media policy, and economics."--Jacket |
