Key Thinkers in Psychology
by Rom Harre
The 20th Century was rich in attempts to characterize and explain psychological phenomena and so to understand the human mind. These projects were undertaken by a huge and diverse list of characters from B F Skinner to James Gibson, from Gordon Allport to Hans Eysenck. It is important for every student of psychology, wherever they might be in the world, to understand the classic scholars, the classic studies, and the subsequent generations of people and ideas that have come to define the broad discipline that is 'psychology'. This book achieves this in the most accessible and engaging manner possible. Rom Harré presents a unique textbook orientation, combining the biopic with the significance of the major protagonists of the last century, organized by 'schools of thought', yet with cross-references throughout the text.

Fancher, Raymond E
New York: W. W. Norton & Company, Inc.. Previous Owner Markings (Highlighting); Light Creasing on Front, Rear Covers, Spine; Front, Rear Covers, Spine Lightly Chipped; Edges Lightly Soiled. SYNOPSIS: Modern psychology draws on more than three centuries of research and speculation - invariably original, often daring, at times misguided. This volume traces the evolution of this influential science through the lives and careers of a fascinating gallery of individuals from Descartes to Skinner. Some of the pioneers were painstaking experimenters: consider Hermann Helmholtz, who at an early age devised an instrument capable of measuring the speed of the nerve impulse, and then, a few years later embarked on a remarkable series of investigations into the nature of human vision. Or Ivan Pavlov whose monumental studies of the physiology of digestion led to the discovery of the conditioned reflex and the founding of modern behaviourism. Or Sigmund Freud who set out to develop a neurological model of the mind and soon launched an entire intellectual revolution under the banner of psychoanalysis. There are others present her, too, whose eminence failed to survive their lifetimes. One such was Franz Anton Mesmer, a hypnotist who attempted mass cures in therapeutic sessions where patients grasped the handles of a tub filled with magnetized iron filings. All that remains of his concept of animal magnetism is a word: mesmerism. In this lively account, the history of psychology emerges with immediacy and excitement, viewed through the work of the forerunners of contemporary psychology. By providing this essential background, Pioneers of Psychology becomes a valuable supplement to all standard psychology courses. Raymond E. Fancher is professor of psychology at York University in Ontario, Canada. Also published by Norton is his Psychoanalytic Psychology, a leading interpretive biography of Sigmund Freud, and The Intelligence Men: Makers of the IQ Controversy.. First Edition 9th Printing. Trade Paperback. Very Good. Illus. by Rene Descartes. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. ( more information)
