In 1855, Alexander Bain brought analyses of the mind and nervous system together in The Senses and the Intellect , a volume now widely regarded as the first modern textbook of scientific psychology. In the half century that followed, psychology established itself as a scientific discipline in its own right, related to but separate from both the philosophy of mind and the physiology of the nervous system. This comprehensive collection, selected and introduced by the highly authoritative Robert Wozniak, documents the birth of scientific psychology. In addition to the volumes of Bain and the landmark texts of Taine, Ribot, Lotze, H???ffding, and Ladd, it includes essential works of the emerging experimentalism (Fechner, Helmholtz, Wundt, Ebbinghaus, Mach, K???lpe, Titchener), fundamental contributions to functionalism (Spencer, Romanes, James), major mind/body treatises (Maudsley, Carpenter, Ferrier, Lewes, Jackson), seminal analyses in the psychology of individual differences (Galton, Binet), animal mind/behaviour (Morgan, Hobhouse, Thorndike, Washburn), development (Baldwin, Clapar???de), and social phenomena (McDougall), and early scientific contributions to psychotherapy (Bernheim, Tuckey, Janet, Prince) and applied psychology (Scott, M???nsterberg). Wherever possible each title is reprinted from the first English edition where one exists. Many of the original editions were printed in small numbers and are now very scarce and collectable. With new introductions to each work and to the collection as a whole included for ready reference in a separate volume, this magnificent set forms a unique research archive of interest to all serious academic libraries. Primarily of interest to psychology departments these American and European writings span the age between the revolutionary ideas of Darwin and Freud, and are equally valid for the serious study of physiology, philosophy, sociology, education and psychotherapy. --gathers all the key works that form the foundations of modern scientific psychology --includes a newly-commissioned book by Robert Wozniak with special introductions to each title --features works by all the leading pioneers of scientific psychology, including James Mark Baldwin, Alexander Bain, Francis Galton, Hippolyte Taine, Hermann Helmholtz, George Henry Lewes, William James, Wilhelm Wundt, and Ernst Mach
