Intended for history of psychology or history and systems courses, this book covers the history of psychology. It emphasizes key participants and perennial themes (atomism, mechanism, empiricism, and associationism), showing how these themes have reappeared over the years. The book focuses on experimental psychology, without neglecting the clinical and social aspects of the field. The author includes: a presentation of Kuhn's ideas about scientific revolutions; discussion of whether or not Tichener and Wundt should both be designated as structuralists; a suggestion that American psychology began with Darwin and Bain, not Fechner and Wundt; an outline of the development of the modern American university; a description of the earliest women psychologists and the obstacles they faced; a exploration of the roots and diversity of contemporary cognitive psychology; and a survey and defence of the various areas of applied psychology.
