A Guided Science - History of Pyschology in the Mirror of Its Making - Grand Format

This book explores the development of ideas in psychology's past. It is the initial volume in a series intended to shape such ideas into a valuable resource for the discipline's future. Scientists, in general, are known to ignore their own history, considering it to be a graveyard of failures. In Thinking in Psychological Science, selected ideas of key figures in the cognitive, comparative, and developmental sides of psychology-Karl Duncker, Karl Böhler, Tamara Dembo, Zing Young Kuo, C.
Lloyd Morgan, Alexander Chamberlain, and Arnold Gesell-are traced, and the social contexts of their ideas are given a collective analysis, focusing on the potential of these ideas for the present state of psychology.
