Brief history of psychology (4th ed)

Written by the son of famous Gestalt psychologist Max Wertheimer, the thoroughly updated Brief History of Psychology 4/e covers a variety of important subjects such as experimental, applied, and clinical psychology, and occurred developments in cognitive psychology, behavioural neuroscience, and health psychology.

An analytical overview of the past 50 years in psychology has been added and both intellectual developments in the field and the social and political context in which they receive more attention are discussed.

The coverage of clinical and applied psychology has been enhanced and the expansion of the chapter on psychoanalysis provides more recent neo-Freudian approaches.

This text can be used for courses in the history of psychology either on its own or as a supplement to a full-size text.
