Makers of Psychology: The Personal Factor - Tapa dura

"Makers of Psychology" shows how the field of psychology has developed, from its beginnings to the present day, in the images of its makers, according to the needs and biases, characteristics and peculiarities, of its leaders. The leaders whose lives and works are examined to establish this thesis include Wilheim Wundt, William James, Sigmund Freud, C.G.Jung, B.F.Skinner, Carl Rogers and Milton H.Erickson. Supported by data on these leaders, the thesis contends that psychology as a whole has progressed on an uneven course due to the dominant personalities of the time and their peculiar characteristics, problems and blind spots.
