T&F INDIA History Of Psychology : From Antiquity To Modernity 7Th Edn by THOMAS HARDY LEAHEY
Provides a narrative history of psychology. A History of Psychology: From Antiquity to Modernity begins tracking psychology from the development of folk psychology as the key adaptation of humans at the dawn of history. It then traces the Classical medieval and early modern periods to present day psychology. The text covers scientific applied and professional psychology. Although theoretical and empirical arguments inside psychology about the nature of mind and behavior are not neglected A History of Psychology shows how psychology's development has been shaped by social economic and political forces external to it and in turn how the mature psychology of the late 20th century has begun to shape the society in which it arose. The text carefully examines how issues in psychology reflect and affect concepts that lie outside the technical concerns of psychology as a science and profession.
