The book, from a historical view point, is concise. However, it is inundated with extraneous information and overstated detail, leaving one yawn-inspired. I am a psyche major and even my professor agreed that this text was rather verbose. It was his first semester instructing a hx of psyche course and he claims he will not be incorporating this text into future sessions.

The first time I read this book I was so delighted. I had borrowed it from the Public Library to help me with writing a paper. Never did I think I would find everything I needed to know about why and how psychology was developed,and the men that advanced science into the various systems/theories of psychology!

I am so pleased that I can now own my own copy, through Amazon.com.
