Modern psychology draws on more than three centuries of research and speculation-invariably original, often daring, at times misguided.
In this Third Edition of
Pioneers of Psychology, Professor Fancher again traces the evolution of this influential science through the personal triumphs and disappointments of a fascinating gallery of individuals, from Descartes, Gall, and Kant to James, Piaget, and Skinner.
