What is modern psychology and how did it get here? How and why did
psychology come to be the world's most popular science? A
Conceptual History of Psychology charts the development of
psychology from its foundations in ancient philosophy to the
dynamic scientific field it is today. Emphasizing psychology's
diverse global heritage, the book explains how, across centuries,
human beings came to use reason, empiricism, and science to explore
each other's thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. The book skilfully
interweaves conceptual and historical issues to illustrate the
contemporary relevance of history to the discipline. It shows how
changing historical and cultural contexts have shaped the way in
which modern psychology conceptualizes individuals, brains,
personality, gender, cognition, consciousness, health, childhood,
and relationships. This comprehensive textbook: - Helps students
understand psychology through its origins, evolution and cultural
contexts - Moves beyond a 'great persons and events' narrative to
emphasize the development of the theoretical and practical concepts
that comprise psychology - Highlights the work of minority and
non-Western figures whose influential work is often overlooked in
traditional accounts, providing a fuller picture of the field's
development - Includes a range of engaging and innovative learning
features to help students build and deepen a critical understanding
of the subject - Draws on examples from contemporary politics,
society and culture that bring key debates and historical
milestones to life - Meets the requirements for the Conceptual and
Historical Issues component of BPS-accredited Psychology degrees.
This textbook will provide students with invaluable insight into
the past, present and future of this exciting and vitally important
field. Read more from Brian Hughes on his blog at thesciencebit.net
