The centenary of Wundt's establishment of the Leipzig laboratory was the occasion of a symposium that brought together some of the most prominent names in psychology and such related fields as biology, philosophy, and the humanities for the purpose of assessing the accomplishments, status, and prospects of psychology at the end of its first century as science. The symposium was the point of departure for this book~which is not a "proceedings," but a carefully prepared scholarly work consisting of revised and (in most instances) markedly enlarged versions of the initial papers. Essays typically include extensive bibliographies and supplementary lists of landmark publications that register the development of the field under review. This ambitious collaboration concentrates on the representation of areas and issues relating to "fundamental" psychology. Although it is impossible to represent all sectors of so sprawling a discipline, a sufficient range of historically significant fields and interests was sifted through a sufficient diversity of authoritative sensibilities to provide a telling fix on the state of psychology as it commences its second century. Coverage includes most of the larger, traditionally discriminated subdivisions of fundamental psychology (sensory processes and perception, learning, motivation, emotion, cognition, development, personality, social psychology) and such major intersectional areas as psychology in relation to: philosophy, mathematics, the neurosciences, evolutionary biology, and linguistics. Several probing essays confront problems of general systematic import, and another subgroup~contributed by humanists as well as psychologists~explores the human impact of psychology. The interrelations of dynamic and fundamental psychology are considered in chapters on experimental psychoanalysis, psychoanalysis and behavior theory, and personality. Although this book contains much history, it is not primarily a historical study. The central emphasis is "Where do we stand at the present time?" Thus, this work is essentially present~centered, and from that center is as much forward~looking as backward~looking. The individual contributors have themselves chosen the primary directions of their glances. The editorial aim was to secure multiplicity of viewpoint, analytic attack, and style. The hope was for essays that would have a fresh and direct "first person" authenticity rather than cautious exercises in scholarly apologetics. It is hard not to conclude that such a hope has been realized. Upon its original publication, this book won the Association of American Publishers Award for "the most outstanding scholarly and professional book in 1985 on the social and behavioral sciences. ".
