Goodwin presents psychologists with an innovative new book that offers a set of important readings along with
a running annotation that addresses the meaning of the readings content. This includes a look at how the content
relates to the contemporary historical context and the significance of the material for psychologys history. Each
chapter begins with basic biographical information about the writer and concludes with narrative that places the
writings in their historical context and explains their significance. Brief explanations, elaborations, or narrative
that aims to connect the different segments are integrated throughout the excerpts from that persons writing. Psychologists
will gain an even stronger understanding of and appreciation for the subject.
