Psychology is a comparatively young science. From its origins in
the psychophysics laboratories of late 19th century Germany, it
made great strides throughout the 20th century, and can now be
considered one of the most rapidly growing of the sciences, as
evidenced by the enormous growth at both undergraduate level and
research level.
This book takes a step back to consider just how we got to where
we are in psychology. It brings together some of the leading and
most influential figures from the past 50 years, covering
neuropsychology, social psychology, experimental psychology,
perception, physiology and many others. Each contributor considers
the path their own field has taken - both the advances, and the
set-backs. They look at how their area has changed - how it might
have been 'in vogue' one day, and out of fashion the next. The
accounts are personal, witty, and provide a much needed stock-take
of just where psychology stands at the start of the 21st century,
and where it might be heading in the coming years.
Highly accessible, the book will make fascinating reading for
anyone at all interested in psychology and its history- from
students upwards, as well as those more broadly interested in the
study of the mind.
