The third edition of Putting Psychology In Its Place builds on the previous two editions introducing the history of Psychology & placing the discipline within a historical context. It aims both to answer & raise questions about the role of Psychology in modern society by critically examining issues such as how Psychology developed why psychoanalysis had such an impact & how the discipline has changed to deal with contemporary social issues such as religion race & gender. This new third edition contains two completely new chapters: Emotion: The Problem or the Whole Point?" & " Funding & Institutional Factors." An expanded epilogue has also been added which incorporates a discussion of the conceptual issues raised in the book & the volume now corresponds with the new BPS requirements for undergraduate courses. Other chapters including those on Psychology & the Brain Social Psychology & the Psychology of Madness as well as those on gender religion & race have been substantially revised. Putting Psychology In Its Place is imaginatively written & accessible to all. It is an invaluable introductory text for undergraduate students of the history of Psychology & will also appeal to postgraduates academics & anyone interested in Psychology or the history of science."
