Product Overview

A detailed survey of intellectual traditions that contributed to the founding and historical development of psychology. Unusual features of early chapters include coverage of contributions of early female thinker such as Theana and Hypatia; brief overviews of psychological thought in documents from ancient Chinese, Indian, Persian, and Hebrew cultures; and equal emphasis on psychology's intellectual context and the quantitative techniques that allowed psychology to develop. Later chapters outline major systems of psychology, examining basic and applied contributions of each school. The volume includes chapter review questions and glossaries, and pronunciation guides for difficult names. This second edition reflects historical scholarship appearing since the first edition in 1993. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
