An introduction to the history of psychology

Dreams puzzled early man, Greek philosophers spun elaborate theories to explain human memory and perception, Descartes postulated that the brain was filled with "animal spirits," and psychology was officially deemed a "science" in the 19th century. In this text, the author demonstrates that most of the concerns of contemporary psychologists are manifestations of themes that have been part of psychology for hundreds, or even thousands, of years
