Review # 1 was written on 2020-01-16 00:00:00 Natalie Ross Michael Wertheimer ΦBK, Swarthmore College, 1947 Author From the publisher: This brief, versatile text, written by the son of famous Gestalt psychologist Max Wertheimer, offers an analytical overview of the past 50 years in psychology. It offers clear, succinct presentation of the major events and schools of thought and presents balanced coverage of experimental, applied, and clinical psychology. It can be used on its own or as a supplement to a full-size text or in combination with a history of psychology reader.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-11-29 00:00:00 Leslie Mcadoo Gordon Rather dry. If you like history than this would be appealing, but I much prefer to learn about the systems and paradigms. His concluding chapter was also rather discouraging. What is in the future for psychology?
