Description

History and Systems of Psychology provides an engaging introduction to the rich story of psychology's past. Retaining its trademark clarity and accessibility, the Eighth Edition also features expanded coverage of non-western traditions in psychology as well as added coverage of nineteenth-century advances in philosophy and science. The emergence of applications of psychology in clinical, educational, neuroscientific, and social settings are further emphasized within the twenty-first-century landscape of psychology as a cognitive and a positive science. Assuming little prerequisite knowledge, the authors discuss the people, places, and concepts that have shaped psychology's story, and show that we remain fascinated and perplexed by the same enduring questions that confronted our ancestors - namely, our wonder at our subjectivity and consciousness of self. The Eighth Edition is supported by rich online resources including a manual, test bank, and lecture slides for instructors, and study guides and links to primary source literature for students.

The Eighth Edition of this classic textbook connects the rich story of psychology's past to contemporary research and practice.

About the Author
James F. Brennan, Ph.D., served seven years as Provost of The Catholic University of America and was named Professor Emeritus in 2021. He has held academic administrative and faculty positions at several universities, continuing a program of empirical research focused on drug actions in hearing pathologies. His interest in psychology's history stems from his doctoral minor concentration, mainly through Kent State University's School of Library Sciences. He has continued this interest throughout his career through his teaching in the area as well as his authorship of this textbook, beginning in 1982 and continuing through eight editions. Keith A. Houde, Ph.D., is Professor of Psychology at Ave Maria University in Florida. He previously worked as a clinical psychologist within a Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Maine, including service as a psychology training director for a predoctoral internship and postdoctoral fellowship program. With an academic background in psychology and theology, his interest in the history of psychology flows from a fascination with theories of human nature throughout the history of thought. He is passionate about teaching the history of psychology within the context of Western civilization and culture.

Reviews
'This new edition carries on with the same quality as previous editions. The text is written at a level that works well for undergraduate students. The book starts with the ancient Greeks and Romans instead of focusing purely on the schools of thought that arose from the late nineteenth century and onward. I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in how the ideas central to psychology have been considered and developed over time.' Tom Reiner, Troy University, Alabama

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
