History of Psychology by David Hothersall
Hothersall and Lovett's History of Psychology is a lively survey of the evolution of the field from 1850 to the present. Built around the lives of fascinating thinkers who proposed bold new ways of studying human behavior and mental processes, and telling the true stories behind their famous experiments, this textbook provides students with an intimate understanding of how psychology came to be what it is today. Thoroughly updated with the latest historical scholarship, the fifth edition includes greater focus on the contributions of women and people of color, and a new chapter on the late twentieth century and the cognitive revolution. It also features updated pedagogy such as chapter discussion questions and unique archival photographs, while instructor resources include a test bank, lecture slides, and an instructor manual.
'Perfect for graduate and undergraduate students, History of Psychology takes readers on a journey from psychology's roots in philosophy to the field's contemporary complexitiesHothersall and Lovett use history as a vehicle for answering psychology's recurrent questions and offer an inclusive and critical view of a scientific discipline that has grown by leaps and bounds since its early days.' Michael Axelrod, University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire
'Hothersall and Lovett have written a text that contains breadth and depth. Their writing is engaging, interesting, and brings alive the historical underpinnings of modern psychology.' Brian A. Johnson, University of Tennessee at Martin
'The fifth edition is, like prior editions, lively with biographical stories of men such as Wilhelm Wundt, William James, and Edward Tolman and a documenting of the barriers faced by women such as Leta Stetter Hollingworth and Christine Ladd-Franklin. Students will come away from this new edition with an appreciation for the scope of the field, the brilliance and humanity of its leaders, and, too, a humbling appreciation of the role of the zeitgeist in shaping the questions we ask and who gets to ask them.' Kevin Lanning, Florida Atlantic University
'A welcome update, the primary strength of this new edition is the quality of writing and the progression of psychological science from philosophy to physiology to the discipline of psychology. This accessible treatment is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate psychology courses.' Garrett Milliken, College of Charleston
'The authors guide students along an integrative and multi-sub-disciplinary perspective of how each of the schools of thought emerged and how they still influence the modern study of psychology today. A thoughtful and well-articulated approach emphasizing the importance of psychology as an integrative science and applied clinical therapy.' Lorenz S. Neuwirth, SUNY Old Westbury
'This awaited revision will generate significant fascination with psychology's history. Readers will come away with a greater appreciation of how people and context matter for psychology's history and future.' Bryan E. Porter, Old Dominion University
'A triumph! With cutting-edge historiography and expansive, stunning discoveries, the fifth edition of History of Psychology brings together the anchors of our past and opens important questions for our collective future.' Richard Ruth, The George Washington University
