Twenty years is a long time in the life of a science. While the
historical roots of psychology have not changed since the first
edition of this book, some of the offshoots of the various theories
and systems discussed have been crit ically reexamined and have
undergone far-reaching modifications. New and bold research has led
to a broadening of perspectives, and recent devel opments in
several areas required a considerable amount of rewriting. I have
been fortunate in the last fifteen years to have worked with about
2,000 psychologists and other behavioral scientists who contributed
to several collected volumes I have edited. As the editor-in-chief
of the In ternational Encyclopedia of Psychiatry, Psychology,
Psychoanalysis and Neurol ogy, I have had the privilege of reading,
scrutinizing, and editing the work of 1,500 experts in psychology
and related disciplines. In addition, I have written several books
and monographs and over one hundred scientific papers. Armed with
all that experience, I have carefully examined the pages of the
first edition. Chapter 8 required substantial rewriting and several
new sections have been added to other chapters: "Current Soviet
Psychol ogy" (Chapter 2, Section 7); "New Ideas on Purposivism"
(Chapter 5, Sec tion 4); "Recent Developments in the Sociological
School of Psychoanalysis" (Chapter 9, Section 4); and "Present
Status of Gestalt Psychology" (Chapter 12, Section 4). Chapter 15
was omitted, and two new chapters were added: Chapter 14
("Humanistic Psychology") and Chapter 16 ("Selected Research
Areas").
