The history of psychology as a scholarly field has grown and
diversified since the landmark volumes of E. G. Boring's A History
of Experimental Psychology (1929, 1950). It is now a site of
scholarly inquiry that attracts practitioners from a range of
disciplines. Psychological concepts and practices hold interest for
people from all walks of life and from around the globe. The Oxford
Encyclopedia of the History of Modern Psychology reflects the range
of such interest. The essays explore topics from everyday
subjective experiences to deep connections among esoteric
laboratory sciences and Enlightenment philosophies. Authors seek to
answer difficult questions about how psychology developed, not only
in the Western world, but across the globe. Human history has many
examples of how people have used knowledge about themselves,
others, and their world to try and change or improve their lives.
How did these experiences help make possible a science and
profession of psychology? In turn, how has scientific and
professional psychology shaped or influenced the psychology of
everyday life? The reader will find key insights into the profound
differences that have marked the growth of Western modernity-race,
gender, sexuality among them-and what they reveal about selfhood,
identity, and possibilities for human freedom and oppression. In
our own time, we see the psychological, economic, and political
legacy of past practices and the profound inequities that we now
must address. These histories will help readers find or create
counter-histories that help us move toward a more equitable world.
