Opis

This reference provides biographical information and critical analysis of the influences and reception of over 500 people who have made a significant contribution to the field of psychology. Written by an international team of contributors, this volume charts the development of the practice of psychology worldwide from its emergence in the 1850s up to the present day. Biographies range from important historical figures to those who have had a more recent impact on the field, including: Chris Argyris; Donald Broadbent; Kay Deaux; Leon Festinger; Sigmund Freud; Erich Fromm; Francis Galton; Eleanor Gibson; Doreen Kimur; Ulric Neisser; Jean Piaget; Herbert A. Simon; B.F. Skinner; and Amos Tversky. Entries are alphabetically organized and similarly structured for ease of access and allowing comparison of information. Introductory biographical details cover main fields of interest, nationality, principal appointments, honours, and places and dates of birth and death. This is followed by full bibliographic details of principal publications, as well as secondary and critical literature which provide a useful route into further research.
