Annotated Readings in the History of MODERN PSYCHOLOGGY There’s no substitute for the original… If you want to really understand the underpinnings of psychology today, go to the source! Unfortunately, original source readings can seem a bit daunting—these works were written at a particular time and place in psychology’s history.

Each of the 36 chapters in this reader includes substantial excerpts from important books and papers in psychology’s history, accompanied by running annotations that address the meaning of the reading’s content, how the content relates to contemporary historical context, and the significance of the material for psychology’s history. Featuring 36 original readings ranging from Watson’s Behaviorist Manifesto to Freud’s Clark lectures on psychoanalysis to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, C. James Goodwin’s Annotated Readings in the History of Modern Psychology provides insight into some of psychology’s brightest minds, while making the material easy to comprehend for today’s readers.

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.
