This is a Classic Edition of David Cohen s unique collection of
interviews with eminent psychologists, first published in 1977. The
book presents conversations with thirteen of the world s great
psychologists, who dominated the subject from 1950 to 1980, and who
shaped psychology as we know it today. Those interviewed include
Burrhus Skinner, Donald Broadbent, Hans Eysenck and also R.D Laing,
Noam Chomsky, and Niko Tinbergen.
This classic edition contains a newly written introduction which
contextualises the interviews as a critique and diagnosis of the
problems of contemporary psychology in the mid 1970 s. Together,
the interviews cover a broad range of approaches, and the lively
debates about theory, practice and what it means to be human which
were occurring at that time. The book shows the different
approaches each psychologist has to the subject and why, in terms
of background, education, experimental research and personal
preference, they came to the positions they hold.
The classic edition of "Psychologists on Psychology" provides an
astute, critical snapshot of psychology at that time. It will be of
great interest to anyone with an interest in psychology, the
history of psychology, and the history of ideas."
