In this intriguing and readable book, J. D. Keehn introduces the basics of psychoanalytic and behaviorist psychology through an examination of the psychological systems of Freud, Jung, Eysenck, Boss, Adler, Sullivan, Pavlov, and Skinner. In contrast to other writers on psychological systems, Keehn shows how proponents of the different schools both add to and complement one another. Master Builders of Modern Psychology opens with a discussion of psychological paradigms and then moves on to consider Freudian psychodynamics. The chapters that follow trace the ways in which Jung, Eysenck, and Boss differ from Freud on personality structure, and how Adler and Sullivan differ from him in describing environmental effects on personality. The second part of the book shifts to an experimental perspective, revealing that the mental structures of clinicians such as Freud and Jung are replaced by the temporal and transactional structures of Pavlov and Skinner. Keehn concludes that announcements of the death of behaviorism and psychoanalysis may well be premature. Master Builders of Modern Psychology provides both a systematic introduction for the student of psychology and a detailed overview for anyone interested in modern psychology and its evolution.
