This book offers glimpses into the personal and scholarly lives of
20 giants in the history of psychology. As in the earlier volumes,
prominent scholars were invited to prepare chapters on a pioneer
who had made important contributions in their own area of
expertise. Some of the psychologists described may be the teachers
of the instructors who will be the users of this book, potentially
providing a personal connection of the pioneers to the students. A
special section provides brief portraits of the editors and
authors, containing interesting information about the relationship
between the pioneers and the psychologists who describe them.

A major aim of the books in this series is to promote psychology's
appreciation of the neglected giants in its history. The chapters
document the significance of these early contributions, many of
them made more than a century ago. Most of the chapters are
revisions of invited addresses delivered at psychological
conventions. Several of the authors are students, colleagues, or
offspring of their pioneers and all of them are intrigued by the
life and work of the psychologists about whom they have written.
All of the portraits are informal; on occasion, even humorous. Some
are "impersonations"--telling stories in what were or might have
been the pioneer's own words. This book provides source materials
for teachers of undergraduate courses in psychology--particularly
the history of psychology--who want to add a personal view in their
lectures and offer interesting readings for their students. Each of

Over the past century, various men and women have forged psychology
into a dynamic science, leaving behind a rich legacy of innovative
research and theoretical perspectives. The volumes in the Portraits
of Pioneers in Psychology series chronicle the lives of these
giants in the field and outline their influences on psychology
today. The first volume in this series concentrated on figures from
the earliest days of psychology. This new volume also covers
figures from this important era, but includes biographies of more
recent psychologists as well. These portraits reintroduce readers
to such well-known luminaries as Dorothea Dix, John Dewey, and
Robert Yerkes, and introduces others whose influence may be better
known than their names. Readers may be surprised to learn of the
methodological sophistication of Dorothea Dix, or of the
contributions of a little-known Hungarian emigre, Paul Schiller.
The aim of this book is to promote psychology's appreciation of
these sometimes neglected giants in the field. Through the
examination of these individuals, the readers will come to
understand specific schools, fields, and perspectives in
psychology, and will gain an appreciation of how psychology has
evolved, in both methodology and focus, over the years. There are
21 chapters in this edited volume, which is intended for
undergraduates and graduates in psychology and for scholars in the
history of psychology.
