Though widely regarded as a founder of the modern field of
psychology and law, German-American psychologist Hugo Munsterberg
now century-old ideas and research approaches continue to thrive.
In fact, the discipline still grapples with many of the issues
raised by Munsterberg in his seminal 1908 book, On the Witness
Stand. Hugo Munsterberg's Psychology and Law: A Historical and
Contemporary Assessment makes Munsterberg's enduring insights
available to a new generation of scholars and students and presents
the "state of the science" on the very concepts that Munsterberg
was one of the first to investigate. These include eyewitness
memory, deception detection, false confessions, suggestibility,
hypnotism, and the causes of criminal behavior. Opening with a
brief biography of Munsterberg and a historical overview of the
field, the book's organization closely follows that of On the
Witness Stand, with each chapter providing a summary of
Munsterberg's work followed by a contemporary perspective on the
topic. Each chapter asks the reader to consider what we have
learned since Munsterberg's time and whether subsequent research
has shown him to be right or wrong. The final chapter asks what
Munsterberg may have missed, and what we may be missing today. Hugo
Munsterberg's Psychology and Law will be of interest to a broad
range of scholars, practitioners, and professionals in the legal
and mental health fields.
