A Century of Psychology: Progress, Paradigms, and Prospects for the New Millenium

by Ray Fuller

This century has witnessed an explosive growth in psychology that has changed irrevocably our conception of what it means to be human. Many of its concepts have been assimilated into popular culture and it is one of the most widely read subjects in higher education. A Century of Psychology takes a critical look at these achievements, disappointments, divisions and breakthroughs that a hundred years of activity in the discipline has produced. As we reach the end of this first century of psychology, this volume also takes a look at what humankind might expect from psychology in the future. Contributors include Sheila Green, Roy McConkey, Marina Manthouli, Bernhard Wilpert, Peter M. Gollwitzer and Arne Ohman.
