An Introduction to the History of Psychology by B. R. Hergenhahn is regarded as one of the most respected and accessible academic texts covering the historical foundations and evolution of psychological thought. This sixth edition, published by Wadsworth Cengage Learning in 2009, provides students and scholars with a detailed yet readable exploration of the major figures, theories, movements, and philosophical influences that shaped psychology into the modern discipline it is today.
Beginning with early Greek philosophy and the origins of scientific inquiry into human behaviour and consciousness, Hergenhahn carefully traces the development of psychology through structuralism, functionalism, behaviourism, psychoanalysis, Gestalt psychology, humanistic psychology, cognitive psychology, and contemporary approaches. An Introduction to the History of Psychology examines influential thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Locke, Freud, Skinner, Watson, Pavlov, Piaget, and many others, placing their contributions within broader intellectual and cultural contexts.
Widely used in universities and psychology departments worldwide, this work is particularly valued for its clear explanations, balanced academic approach, and ability to connect historical developments with modern psychological practice and theory. An Introduction to the History of Psychology serves equally well as a student textbook, reference source, or supplementary reading for anyone interested in the philosophical and scientific origins of psychology.
This International Student Edition softcover remains highly collectible and useful for tertiary students, educators, and psychology enthusiasts seeking a dependable and comprehensive overview of the discipline’s rich intellectual history.
