This sixth book in the "Portraits of Pioneers in
Psychology" "Series" preserves the diversity that
has characterized earlier volumes as it brings to life
psychologists who have made substantial contributions to the field
of the history of psychology. These chapters illustrate the
pioneering endeavors of such significant figures, and are written
in a lively, engaging style by authors who themselves have achieved
a reputation as excellent scholars in the history of psychology.
Several of the chapters are based on the author's personal
acquaintance with a pioneer, and new, previously unavailable
information about these luminaries is presented in this
volume.
Each of these volumes provides glimpses into the personal and
scholarly lives of 20 giants in the history of psychology.
Prominent scholars provide chapters on a pioneer who made important
contributions in their own area of expertise. A special section in
each volume provides portraits of the editors and authors,
containing interesting information about the relationship between
the pioneers and the psychologists who describe them. Utilizing an
informal, personal, sometimes humorous, style of writing, the books
will appeal to students and instructors interested in the history
of psychology. Each of the six volumes in this series contains
different profiles, thereby bringing more than 120 of the pioneers
in psychology more vividly to life.
