A Thorough Evaluation of the History of Psychology, 2002-08-21
As a student at the University of Colorado at Boulder, I had the priviledge to take classes taught by the authors of the text. Dr. Viney taught History of Psychology, while Dr. King taught Abnormal Psychology. This text was required reading for History of Psychology. At first, I thought, "oh great, he literally WROTE THE BOOK!" The text is thorough and easy to read. Drs. Viney and King lay out the subjects clearly. The subject matter is made "easy to swallow", as the History of Psychology isn't the most exciting subject in the matter of psychology.
