Key thinkers in psychology Author: English View all editions and formats Summary: Bronwyn Davies , educationalist, developed a research method based on phenomenological poetics, and tracked the development of the sense of gender in human development.

Anna Wierzbicka , anthropological linguist, demonstrated some of the universal features of human cognition. This list could be extended in various directions. So much the worse for that canon, one might well say. There might also be thought to be an omission of a major branch of psychology, namely the psychology of the emotions, to which one might couple the psychology of the arts generally.

In the last century studies in the psychology of the emotions have ranged from cultural-historical investigations, to ethological research into emotion displays as signalling systems, to the neurophysiology of arousal. However, no one individual stands out as a true innovator or a major influence on the way the field developed. With neither a commanding figure nor an especially innovative approach exclusive to the psychology of the emotions, the remit of this book leaves no place for any one representative.

`For anyone that has spent years rowing off into convoluted estuaries, and would like an entertaining and useful chart to remind them of River Psychology as a. It is important for every student of psychology, wherever they might be in the world, to understand the classic scholars, the classic studies, and the subseq.

Of course, in any general history of psychology in the last century it would feature prominently. In a masterly analysis of the history of scientific schools, Lewis Feuer showed how the development of a natural science, such as physics or chemistry, in one of the great centres of research, passed through an year cycle.

Key thinkers in psychology

The cycle ends with minor variations of known results as successive generations of lesser talent are attracted to a now famous research programme. A similar pattern is discernible in the recent history of psychology. Through the lives of our cast of characters we will follow the progress of some of the great innovations of the 20th century as they rose into established paradigms, and sometimes declined into obscurity. The life stories presented here are arranged in roughly chronological clusters around topics to which a major part of the life work of each of our characters was directed.

The clusters are grouped under heads that suggest the content of the topics they cover. Of course, many of these exceptionally active and innovative people contributed to more than one domain of the official dimensions of academic psychology. Should Jerome Bruner be placed among the developmentalists or [Page ix] the cognitivists? Should Sigmund Freud be located as a psychopathologist or as a developmentalist?

Cross references take us to and fro across the clusters. Lists for further reading include a selection of major works, some secondary sources, and, wherever they exist and are accessible, biographies and autobiographies. References to some of the excellent articles and biographies available on the internet have been included. Cross-references are indicated in bold with the full name of the author discussed in the section to which reference is made.

The names of people who have made lesser but significant contributions to psychology are displayed in italics. The book is based on a course given at American University, Washington DC during the spring semester To comply with the constraints of the semester a selection was necessary. The course comprised the lives and work of the following: Though in some sense arbitrary, this proved to be a workable selection.

Other choices could certainly be made, and other course structures developed on the basis of the material in this volume. A study like this depends very much on the ready availability of the relevant books. I would like to express particularly warm thanks to the staff of the Radcliffe Science Library in Oxford and of the Medical Library at Georgetown for their help and interest.
