The History of Psychology is the story of all those who had the guts, the curiosity, the ambition, and sometimes the presumption, to try and understand who we as humans are.
Psychology has its roots in shamanism and ancient philosophy, the exorcists of the Middle Ages and the pioneers of hypnosis. This book will enlighten readers about psychiatry's terrifying past, psychoanalysis' scandalous origins, and the evolutions of many associated disciplines, shedding light on today’s practices.
This book is fun way for psychologists and psychology students to explore the vastness of their field, as well as an accessible read for general audiences.
