Originally published in 1987, The Shaping of Modern Psychology
presents a systematic survey of the development of psychology from
the dawn of civilization to the late 1980s. Psychology as we find
it today has been shaped by many influences, philosophical,
theological, scientific, medical and sociological. It has deep
roots in the whole history of human thought, and its significance
cannot be properly appreciated without an understanding of the way
it has developed. This book covers the history of modern psychology
from its animistic beginnings, through the Greek philosophers and
the Christian theologians, and developments such as the Scientific
Revolution, to the time of first publication. The author drew on
many years' teaching experience in the subject and on a lifetime's
interest in psychology. The growth of psychology had been
particularly impressive during the twentieth century and Professor
Hearnshaw also looked to the future of the discipline. He showed
that the new vistas opening out in fields such as neuropsychology,
information theory and artificial intelligence, for example, were
hopeful indications for the future, provided the lessons of the
past were not forgotten. With the benefit of hindsight, we now know
that he was right!
