Description
Summary:Drawing on more than 25 contributions, this new book presents both a historical and personal account of British psychology from 1875 to the present date. The book is divided into two sections: Part 1 contains a collection of historical essays concentrating on institutional beginnings, practical concerns, individual projects and post-war developments. Part 2 looks at the professional reminiscences of 12 senior psychologists and the 'implicit knowledge' that they leave to the next generation of psychologists. Published in association with the Science Museum, this book is a celebration of the last century of British psychology, providing insights into how psychology as a discipline may evolve in the future
