Connections in the history and systems of psychology

by Thorne, Harriet Ziefert

This comprehensive, scholarly text offers extensive biographical detail and full coverage of psychology's pre-19th century philosophical and scientific roots. The authors make connections between recent developments in biological, social, and cognitive psychology and their historical roots through current articles and references. This approach helps students understand the thinking processes that led to major psychological discoveries. A three-part format divides the text into Philosophical and Physiological Beginnings, the Schools of Psychology, and Beyond the Schools. Timelines in every chapter connect psychology's development to world events.
