Modern Psychology: A History, International Edition

Duane Schultz (University of South Florida),Sydney Schultz (University of South Florida)

History doesn’t have to be dull, and this text is living proof with coverage of interesting topics ranging from the controversial use of IQ tests at Ellis Island to the psychodynamics of gum chewing. A market leader for over 30 years, Modern Psychology: A History, International Edition has been praised for its comprehensive coverage and biographical approach. Focusing on modern psychology, the book’s coverage begins with the late 19th century. Successfully avoiding dry narrative, the authors personalize the history of psychology not only by using biographical information on influential theorists, but also by showing you how major events in those theorists’ lives have affected the authors’ own ideas, approaches, and methods. Substantial updates in this edition include discussions of evolutionary psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and positive psychology. The result is a book that is as timely and relevant today as it was when it was first introduced.
