Industry Reviews

"Ludden's text is a breath of fresh air, enabling students of all backgrounds to see themselves reflected in well-researched and humanized portrayals of the pioneers of the field, working within the context from which psychological science has emerged." -- Cynthia A. Edwards "Clearly written in a friendly tone, this book provides comprehensive coverage of the history of modern psychology, with extended attention to modern perspectives and the history of many core psychological sub-disciplines." -- Kevin M. Clark "Accessible yet still comprehensive, this book brings the history of psychology into the modern day without losing a sense of the perspective of the whole discipline." -- Emily Stark "A very comprehensive book that includes important concepts, movements, and scholars/psychologists. It includes a discussion of diversity issues and has an engaging writing style." -- Matthew Hunsinger "Including sections on women in psychology, minorities in psychology, and psychologists around the world is completely novel (and much needed) in the field. The same can be said for not stopping the history of our field upwards of 50 years prior to modern day-all great aspects that I wish to include in my own course." -- Brian Day
