Hothersall David - History of Psychology

History of Psychology

Fifth Edition

Hothersall and Lovett s History of Psychology is a lively survey of the evolution of the field from 1850 to the present. Built around the lives of fascinating thinkers who proposed bold new ways of studying human behavior and mental processes, and telling the true stories behind their famous experiments, this textbook provides students with an intimate understanding of how psychology came to be what it is today. Thoroughly updated with the latest historical scholarship, the fifth edition includes greater focus on the contributions of women and people of color, and a new chapter on the late twentieth century and the cognitive revolution. It also features updated pedagogy such as chapter discussion questions and unique archival photographs, while instructor resources include a test bank, lecture slides, and an instructor manual.

David Hothersall is Professor Emeritus of Psychology at The Ohio State University. He has taught undergraduate and graduate courses on the history of psychology at Ohio State since 1971 and at Denison, Ohio Wesleyan, Meredith, and York University as well. His aim is to show students that psychology's history is interesting, relevant, and at times even exciting. Hothersall has received a number of Distinguished Teaching Awards, including on two occasions Ohio State's university-wide Alumni Award for Distinguished Teaching.

Benjamin J. Lovett is Associate Professor of Psychology and Education at Teachers College, Columbia University, where he teaches the history of psychology as well as courses in the school psychology program. Much of his research is on issues related to educational testing and clinical assessment, but his personal passion is the history of psychology. His first book, Testing Accommodations for Students with Disabilities , was published by the American Psychological Association in 2015. He is an active consulting psychologist and works with schools and testing agencies on assessment and disability issues.
