Description
This comprehensive and thought-provoking new textbook covers the conceptual issues and theoretical developments in psychology while effortlessly bringing to life key historical milestones. Each chapter allows students to engage with the 'great debates' in a particular area of psychology while learning objectives and reflective summaries help to scaffold understanding and deepen learning. Non-Western psychology is integrated throughout to help tell a compelling story of how, across centuries, human beings came to explore each other's thoughts, feelings, and behaviours – tracing Psychology's development from an obscure philosophical pursuit to the world's most popular science. Key features of this textbook include: · Expansive coverage of the field from its historical roots in ancient philosophy to the present day, with particular emphasis on developments in modern psychology and neuroscience · Comprehensive coverage of cultural debates within psychology including WEIRD psychology · Carefully-thought out pedagogical framework reinforces the links between history and conceptual issues in an engaging and critical way · Includes 'Almost Famous' biographies of minority, non-Western and other psychologists whose work is often overlooked in the usual 'Great Men' narrative of the field's development · Student-friendly writing style and attractive two-colour layout to aid learning, with online resources offering further support. This textbook will help students understand Psychology, its origins and evolution, its cultural contexts, and the history of cultural change in order to gain invaluable insight into the past, present and future of this vitally important field.
