Brett's History of Psychology (Abridged One Volume Edition)

778 pp. Abridged one volume edition edited and arranged by R. S. Peters. In omitting some sections of the original, and arranging the rest into one volume, the editor has compressed much of the erudition and historical sweep of Brett's classic into a more compact structure. The material has been updated by the addition of chapter introductions and a final chapter which outlines the main trends of twentieth-century psychology and shows how these trends and theories either continue to react against the traditions of inquiry described by Brett.--rear cover
