| Publisher Description: Primary Psychology: A Collection of Readings includes essential contributions from twenty figures who helped to forge together a modern psychology. The essences of driving psychological theories are contained herein. For example, the reader will get to experience the words of Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers as they discuss their respective thoughts on a humanistic approach to experiencing psychology. As well, Sigmund Freud explains his psychoanalytic theory succinctly to the reader. This volume also contains the fundamental basis for various sub-disciples existing in psychology today. Binet's article establishes the field of intelligence testing; John Harlow's account of Phineas Gage's injuries sets forth a path to contemporary neuropsychology. Carl Jung's discussion on personal types still stands as the primary way we measure and assess personality today. The article by Watson and Rayner solidifies the field of behaviorism. Most importantly, however, this collection of work from psychology's pioneering figures accomplishes something no textbook can accomplish. Students get to experience psychology's heritage. There is a deep legacy and tradition fashioned by those who crafted the disciple, and there is no greater wisdom to be found than the wisdom that is shared in the first account. |
