Riassunto

History and Philosophy of Psychology is a lively introduction to the historical development of psychology. Its distinct inclusion of ideas from both Eastern and Western philosophies offers students a uniquely broad view of human psychology.

• Whilst covering all the major landmarks in the history of psychology, the text also provides students with little-known but fascinating insights into key questions â?? such as whether Freud really cured his patients; what was nude psychotherapy; and were the early psychologists racist?
• Encourages students to explore the philosophical and theoretical implications of the historical development of psychology
• Explores key theoretical ideas and experiments in detail, with background to their development and valuable suggestions for further reading

Recensione:

In this very accessibly–written book, Chung and Hyland break newground for an introductory text by referring in some detail to bothwestern and eastern philosophical traditions in tracing theintellectual history of psychology. They are committed to the ideathat psychology has always been done in dialogue with culturalunderstandings about the nature of the person. The authors cover awide sweep of current psychological thought, showing thecontemporary diversity of the discipline. I look forward to usingthis book with my students it s a very engaginginvitation to an area which has previously lacked attractivecurtain–raisers.
