CiNii 図書 - Portraits of pioneers in psychology

This book presents a series of informal biographies about major figures in the history of psychology. A unique combination of expertise and human appeal, the volume places the contributions of each pioneer in a new and fascinating perspective. For instance, several of the authors use the novel approach of having the pioneers return to the present day to reflect back on their work as it relates to the here and now. Revisions of speeches given in a popular series of invited addresses at psychological conventions, the chapters offer appealing glimpses into the lives of individuals who made a difference in the early years of psychology as a field of study. Each of the five volumes in this series contains different profiles thereby bringing more than 100 of the pioneers in psychology more vividly to life.

A major aim of the books in this series is to promote psychology's appreciation of the neglected giants in its history. The chapters document the significance of these early contributions, many of them made more than a century ago. Most of the chapters are revisions of invited addresses delivered at psychological conventions. Several of the authors are students, colleagues, or offspring of their pioneers and all of them are intrigued by the life and work of the psychologists about whom they have written. All of the portraits are informal; on occasion, even humorous. Some are "impersonations"--telling stories in what were or might have been the pioneer's own words. This book provides source materials for teachers of undergraduate courses in psychology--particularly the history of psychology--who want to add a personal view in their lectures and offer interesting readings for their students. Each of the five volumes in this series contains different profiles thereby bringing more than 100 of the pioneers in psychology more vividly to life.

Over the past century, various men and women have forged psychology into a dynamic science, leaving behind a rich legacy of innovative research and theoretical perspectives. The volumes in the Portraits of Pioneers in Psychology series chronicle the lives of these giants in the field and outline their influences on psychology today. The first volume in this series concentrated on figures from the earliest days of psychology. This new volume also covers figures from this important era, but includes biographies of more recent psychologists as well. These portraits reintroduce readers to such well-known luminaries as Dorothea Dix, John Dewey, and Robert Yerkes, and introduces others whose influence may be better known than their names. Readers may be surprised to learn of the methodological sophistication of Dorothea Dix, or of the contributions of a little-known Hungarian emigre, Paul Schiller. The aim of this book is to promote psychology's appreciation of these sometimes neglected giants in the field. Through the examination of these individuals, the readers will come to understand specific schools, fields, and perspectives in psychology, and will gain an appreciation of how psychology has evolved, in both methodology and focus, over the years. There are 21 chapters in this edited volume, which is intended for undergraduates and graduates in psychology and for scholars in the history of psychology.

This series chronicles the lives of those who have forged psychology into a dynamic science. Through examination of these individuals, the text covers specific schools, fields, and perspectives in psychology, to provide the reader with an appreciation of how psychology has evolved over the years.

Like its predecessor volumes, this volume offers provocative glimpses into the lives of early major psychological figures. Written by experts in salient subfields of psychology, this volume covers a whole range of disciplines, vividly depicting twenty-one preeminent men and women whose lives spanned the 19th and 20th centuries. Among those featured are Evelyn Hooker, who helped declassify homosexuality as a disorder and fueled the gay rights movement; Francis Cecil Sumner, the first African American to receive a PhD in psychology from an American university; and Roger W. Sperry, a Nobel Laureate and neuroscientist whose work sought to answer the question, What is consciousness? The portraits shed new light on the contributions and personalities of giants in the field, often with a touch of humor. The animated style and carefully selected details make the people, ideas, and controversies in the history of psychology come alive in a way that a standard systematic text on the history of psychology can rarely, if ever, achieve.

Portraits of Pioneers in Psychology, Volume V is the next book in the inspirational and informative series that profiles psychology's pioneers. Leading scholars write about the psychological pioneers who influenced their own areas of expertise. As with previous volumes, this one also traces the origins of the major currents in psychology--from behavioral genetics to conditioning and learning, from personality and psychotherapy to gender, politics, and race. Readers will learn about the "giants" of the major schools of psychological thought--structuralism, psychoanalysis, behaviorism, functionalism, and Gestalt theory--and trace the cross-fertilization of ideas across schools and disciplines. Volume V features 20 pioneers who include G. Stanley Hall, Margaret Floy Washburn, William McDougall, Kurt Goldstein, June Etta Downey, and Frederick M. Lord. The Portraits of Pioneers in Psychology series promotes the outstanding but sometimes neglected contributions of groundbreaking early psychologists. Through the examination of individuals' lives and work, readers will learn about specific schools, fields, and perspectives in psychology and gain an appreciation of how psychology has evolved in both methodology and focus. Presented in non-academic and colloquial styles, this series is ideal for the classroom or academic reference.

The volumes in the ""Portraits of Pioneers in Psychology"" series promote outstanding but sometimes neglected contributions of groundbreaking early psychologists. Through the examination of these individuals' lives and work, the readers will come to understand specific schools, fields, and perspectives in psychology and will gain an appreciation of how psychology has evolved in both methodology and focus. The latest volume of the series ""Portraits of Pioneers in Psychology"", Vol. VI pays tribute to some of the big names in psychology, such as Abraham Maslow, Henry Murray, Edmund Clark Sanford, and James McKeen Cattell, as well as some lesser-known luminaries, who, nonetheless made significant contributions to the field. Through this collection of 17 biographies emerges a sense of excitement, and of the often difficult work that shaped research and practice across a range of fields, including clinical psychology, child psychology, individual differences, comparative psychology, industrial/organizational psychology, and sport psychology. The volume closes with a thoughtful discussion of the contributions made and challenges faced by Kenneth Clark, the first African American to serve as president of the American Psychological Association. Clark's scholarly work on racial prejudice and efforts at uniting social science and social activism helped lay the groundwork for the landmark Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, which ended segregation in the schools.
