A History of Psychology

"This text is the best in terms of covering the philosophical underpinnings of psychology and giving detailed and comprehensible explications of the history of psychology's theoretical systems."
--Michael Pettit, York University

"Benjafield made a judicious choice of thinkers and events to provide an overview of (mostly) the Western history of psychology. . . . He discusses many individuals and currents that previously have been ignored by other textbook-writers in the field of the history of psychology."
--Carmen Poulin, University of New Brunswick
