"In line with the British Psychological Society's recent recommendations for teaching
the history of psychology, this comprehensive undergraduate textbook emphasizes the
philosophical, cultural and social elements that influenced psychology's development.
The authors demonstrate that psychology is both a human (e.g. psychoanalytic or phenomenological)
and natural (e.g. cognitive) science, exploring broad social-historical and philosophical
themes such as the role of diverse cultures and women in psychology and the complex
relationship between objectivity and subjectivity in the development of psychological
knowledge. The result is a fresh and balanced perspective on what has traditionally
been viewed as the collected achievements of a few 'great men'. With a variety of
learning features, including case studies, study questions, thought experiments and
a glossary, this new textbook encourages students to critically engage with chapter
material and analyze themes and topics within a social, historical and philosophical
framework"
