A History of Modern Psychology, 11th Edition (PDF Book)
By Duane P. Schultz, Sydney Ellen Schultz
History can be dull, but this book is an example of interesting topics that include the controversial utilization of IQ tests at Ellis Island as well as the psychodynamics of gum chewing. A leading authority on the subject for over 30 years, A HISTORY of modern psychology has been commended for its extensive coverage and biographical approach. Today, the focus of modern psychology is on the late 19th century. The authors present a narrative that is attractive, personalizing the history of psychology by utilizing biographical information about significant theorists, and by demonstrating how significant events in the lives of the theorists affected their ideas, methods, and approaches. The eleventh edition’s updates include discussions of the latest advances in positive psychology, the interpretation of dreams via computers, the utilization of Coca Cola as a “nerve tonic,” and numerous other fascinating topics. The outcome is a book that is as pertinent and timely today as it was originally conceived.
