History of Psychology 101 [Paperback]

This book's great strength is the way it weaves psychology between events and trends in society. It shows that psychology isn't separate, watching through a one-way mirror, but that psychology and society are threads woven together in the same tapestry. Key theories and 'big names' fit into a story that makes sense, and become more human than legend... The writing style is clear and direct; I found myself looking forward to each chapter... [A] highly informative book that would benefit students, psychologists and aspiring psychologists.

This slim volume would be a wonderful accompaniment to a traditional text. This reviewer has taught history and theory of psychology for 24 years. In those years, many students have said -- at the end of the course -- 'I wish I had known this stuff at the beginning of my degree.' This volume would fill that need.

In this engaging and highly readable book, Devonis gives readers a 'usable past' ? an account of key themes and issues that shaped modern American psychology. Much more than a straightforward chronicle of intellectual antecedents,History of Psychology 101situates the field in a wider social and historical context. The book will appeal to both experienced psychologists and those new to the field ? highly recommended.
