| Summary |
This volume brings together an extensive and representative selection of the most important historical writing to appear in American Psychological Association (APA) journals over the past quarter century. The collection includes several of the seminal papers of the 1970s and 1980s that launched the new and critical historiography of psychology, as well as numerous more recent examples of the finest work in the genre (R.E. Fancher). The materials are organized into 7 sections covering topical areas such as historiography, early founders, psychology as a natural science, psychology as a social science, psychology between the world wars, the practices of psychology, and psychology in the public interest (A.W. Viney). This volume is a provocative sourcebook that challenges traditional views of how psychology has evolved historically, and it therefore raises questions about present practices and future directions (H.L. Minton). (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved). |
