Book excerpt: 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. Understanding them requires knowledge of the historical context in which the work was written, as well as background on the writer. This book of annotated readings aims to solve this problem. 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.
